End of month yarn stats: 53 entries, 84 skeins, 24823.80 metres, 8795 grams.
I survived June! It helped that June felt like it was four days long.
I bought yarn several times this month. I'm doing a mystery knit-along and I bought three (shoulda been two) skeins of sock yarn that I found out afterward wouldn't work with the design. It should have been two skeins, since I had one in my stash already, but I'd pulled out that colourway as well to compare with the other two and forgot to put it back on the shelf. And now I'm not even using them!
I also bought yarn for a poncho that my son really wants (he likes coming up with stuff for me to knit for him). Then, I found three skeins of Noro Silk Garden at Value Village for $4 each, and then I bought another ball of the Glimmer I'm using from Walter's stash for a scarf.
I focused on the Wrapid cardigan for most of June, and it's almost finished.
July goals:
1. Finish Wrapid.
2. Try not to buy yarn? Maybe?
3. Keep up with the clues each week for the MKAL.
4. Avoid any work on any of the languishing WIPs currently laying around the apartment. (This one should be easy.)
Ah, July. What were you, three days long?
Seriously, though, that was a quick month. I guess I kept busy.
I hit all of my goals this month (if we can ignore the lack of finished pictures for Wrapid, that is). I've been keeping up with the clues (we're on clue six as of today!) and I haven't even thought about the languishing WIPs! And I didn't buy yarn.
I've been working on Walter's poncho all month (when not doing MKAL clues) and it's almost done - less than twenty looooooong rounds to go. I think I'll have to start the next mobile knitting project this weekend, as the poncho is definitely beyond that!
August goals:
1. Finish the poncho and the MKAL.
2. Start a packing list for the Montreal trip at the end of the month.
3. Don't buy yarn unless it's in Montreal.
4. Survive August.
