I was bad, very very bad...
In April, I decided to go on a yarn diet wit just a couple rules...
1) purchases to finish a project (it would be no good to have a sweater with 1.5 arms...)
2) purchases for special requests are ok (knitting for others)
I was doing pretty good, May was cotton cloth month and June started as wool month... great. Then I got a special request for lots of cloths... since I had already used lots of cotton and did not have the requested colors, well... I slipped... Next I got a request for more felted bowls (and designed to coordinate with the cloths), so I slipped again... Proof:
It is not my fault that both Joanns and Hobby Lobby had cotton yarn on sale this week :)
While I was not counting completed projects, yards used, dollars saved or hours spent knitting, I was counting number of skeins used... According to my card system, I purchased 45 skeins in June, used 14, so actually enhanced by collection by 31 skeins. This is what I will have added to my collection in June:
and this is what they look like with the cloth from last week, all coordinating:
In July, I am going to continue to work on cotton cloths, felted bowls, the ribby shell (that I have not knitted on in weeks) and start the mystery stole 3. I am just waiting on beads for that stole and then I am off.
