End of month yarn stats: 53 entries, 87 skeins, 24493.30 metres, 9843 grams.
We're further into June than I wanted to be - a little late on this update! So, it looks like my reverse psychology attempt with regards to the spinning wheel didn't work, and I did end up buying some yarn in May. I was also given yarn in May that was purchased in Whitehorse. (I'm not even going to mention June's acquisition.)
I did finish a project, but I also had a wrist injury in early May that affected any real progress. It's better now, and I did do several fidget toys (who am I? crochet?!), but starting new projects was more exciting.
June is already being difficult - it's hot (though not overly humid) and it's usually harder to knit in the summer (for me, with no central air). So this month's goals will be easy.
June goals:
1. Don't buy any more yarn.
2. Don't accept any more yarn (than what I've already accepted :D).
3. Don't finish any projects.
4. Bring knitting to look at on the camping trip at the end of the month.
June. How fun, how fleeting! It's already over. I started two new projects (one required frogging an older WIP). The Gingerbread blanket was stalled for a week while I untangled my mess. It was fine, but I got cocky and stopped carefully watching how the yarn was pulling off the already-in-use ball.
I started the baby blanket. It's literally 10 rows in. I'm not sure what happened there. Will I continue it? Will I frog it? Who knows!
I did hint at accepting yarn, and I had already accepted it when I wrote last month's update, but it's hard to add to stash as it wasn't labelled. So that means that the yarn stats are not true. I'm still working on identifying most of it. (It's not a lot, I promise! Not like the amount of yarn I purchased on Canada Day . . . .)
We went camping and it was glorious. I had so many mosquito bites. But I saw fireflies for the first time in 25 years and that was . . . words escape me.
In July, I'll be knitting the yearly MKAL - Warrior Goddess!
July goals:
1. Enter all yarn into stash (for a reality check).
2. Finish two projects (namely, the Gingerbread blanket and the Not So Colourful blanket).
3. Don't buy any more yarn. Please. We're running out of space.
4. Work on the MKAL! That's right, it's that time of year again!
