2007 has been good to me, despite my complaints about the number of weddings and other events. It was a high cost year and Stashalong actually helped me buy less yarn. I'm not yet sure if I have finished more projects, but I am more likely to look at what I have (and what I haven't finished) before starting something new - the only thing I really cared about when I joined Stashalong.
For this Christmas my hubby got me Yarn (it's capitalized, because it is that pretty). He's trying to get a better idea of what I like, and probably learning more about knitting than he would ever care to know in the process. I have the yarn for the Lacy Dress (lazy link to the dress in Ravelry) from the 2007 Holiday Vogue Knitting. My eyes were very wide when I saw exactly what I had been gifted. The yarn is gorgeous and the project is huge. Definitely a 2008 project, because it might take me all year to finish.
I figured I should finish some of my current projects first. I have a ton of WIPs. There are about 9 of them that I admit to on Ravelry, but there are a few projects that haven't made it onto the list. I asked my hubby this morning when he thought I should start the project with the yarn he gifted me. To be more accurate, I asked how many of my old projects I should finish before starting the new one. He said zero, and my eyes got pretty big. He has a pretty good idea of how many unfinished projects I have (let's put it this way, I believe the Ravelry project list has it currently listed in the low double digits), so I pushed him a little more. He said I should finish one project and it should be the pink one.
This pink one. I am more than halfway done, so I now know what I'm going to work on this weekend (after I finish a crocheted wreath for Monday). Of course, I'm hoping to finish more than that in the next four days, because I have enough close to the end projects to fill close to a week with FOs. Let work on the pink thing commence!
