Stash Down Update for Mid-January

RULES:

1. Knit from current stash from before January 1, 2012
2. Keep record of stash accurately each month
3. Can be knit, crocheted, spun, tatted, woven act as long as it uses stash
4. Spinning will add to existing stash numbers but will be noted how much it takes up so its a “floating amount aka WATER WEIGHT”
5. Knit from Queue, favorites, books, magazines
6. Organize binder of patterns
7. Create a new binder for FINISHED projects so I can look back on what I have done
8. MOST IMPORTANT: Have as much fun as possible

Into the new year

My first post into the new year is not resolutions or goals but it is to remind everyone to take a deep breath. Just breathe and everything will sort itself out.

There will be a podcast coming out later today with a few separate clips and a slide show with commentary. I will also have some small sections of works in progress and stash enhancement. I will list my goals and show what 2012 will entail. If you follow me then you know some of my plans but I do also have a life beyond knitting and it is not my bread and butter so I will explain some things about me. I hope everyone's New Years was great and that everyone is safe and sound in bed! Coming from the home of the largest street party in the world all I can say is that I am glad I am warm and safe in my bed.

Well, time for bed for me so I can get my podcast out later this morning! I just wanted to thank everyone who has commented or emailed me over these last few months. I podcast for you, and because I love to talk. Here is to another year of growing together!
