I am happy to report that my Destash Challenge is going really great!
Round 2 is now complete:
1) Christmas Socks for Marty (2)
2) Stripey Sock (1)
3) Worsted Vest for Marty (4)
4) A Quick Hat (2) Free Pattern Availalbe
5) Anzula Hat (1) Pattern coming next week
Total: 10!!
So as a reward, I bought a skein of Lorna's Laces Solemate in "Flames" colorway. I think these will become Marty's next socks.
Round 3 is well under way! I still have Hermoine Socks and Christmas socks to finish for myself, I cast on for Aidez earlier this week, and Lady Sybil socks and Gurum socks (which, by the way, are still on sale with the coupon code: cloud9) are hibernating right now.. as well as Marty's Hugo and Sam socks. So lots of shopping to do ;)
I'm also happy to say that I feel like I now cleaned out 1 cubbie worth of yarns from my Ikea shelf. I also organized the yarns into 3 different bins, 1) Socks, 2) Accessories, and 3) Sweaters and all the yarns neatly fit into those Rubbermaid bins. The Ikea shelf now holds only the yarns for designing. IMPROVEMENT!
