I don't like shopping for traditional things. Clothing and food aren't as much fun as buying more yarn or knitting-related tools. I try to be good about it, and I experience mixed results. Just like all of life really.
So, when I won a gorgeous skein of laceweight last month (880 yards!), I wanted to find something really good to make with it. I have another wedding to attend this year (September), and it would be nice to use the yarn for something wedding appropriate. While I am not supposed to buy yarn (Stashing along after all), nothing says I can't buy a pattern.
I just bought Hanami. And printed it out.
Now, I will admit my WIP list is still outrageously huge, but I have finished 4 items in the last two weeks! I'm trying to get around to taking pictures of all of them, but that has never been my strong suit. I'm almost half way to finishing another as well (they are really basic socks, so they hardly count). It's been a good couple of weeks in knit land.
(Also, I've been so good about finishing things and knitting from the stash that I'm going to be free and clear to buy the yarn I want for the Butterfly Cardigan within the next two weeks! A good thing too, because next month is the perfect time for me to stash enhance!)
