Wool Stats for January

So, wool in 200g, wool out 316g net decrease for the month is 116g 

This is not the flying start I have had in the last two Januarys but I'm not too downhearted about that. The main reason for my equanimity is that I am still ploughing through this large project that I have mentioned before and, just as in December I failed to finish it in January. But, it is very close to being done now; I am confident it will be complete by the end of the coming week. And then it will go on the bathroom scales and I will be a very happy bunny. Not just for the weight reduction but also being able  to use the finished product which is lovely. 

The other reason is that I have bought very little and resisted the temptation to sign up for various yarn clubs, new yarns, treat boxes etc; e-mail notifications for which have been filling my in-box all month. This augurs well for very little wool coming into stash over the year. I bought the yarn for the Sophie Scarf which I have already shown here and the other 100g was this 

obviously destined to be a pair of socks for the OH. I won't go into all the details of how and why but it was a once only chance so I snagged it. 

Only two finished projects this month, which is hardly surprising given the amount of time I have spent on the Big One. They were the Sophie Scarf, and the baby blanket for my friend's daughter and I've already show them off in blog posts so won't  repost those. 

I am currently going through my knitting stash identifying, kits, wips, things I have wool and pattern for so that I know where they all are as I try to make my way through as many of them as possible over the coming eleven months.  I feel spreadsheets coming on whihc is good; I do love a good spreadsheet!
