End of month yarn stats: 53 entries, 86 skeins, 25449.60 metres, 8945 grams.
May felt more productive, and I suspect that some of it is due to the medication I've started. I finished the test knit before the due date and it's beautiful!
I did buy yarn, but it was a special one. I was at Mary Maxim on Victoria Day (I know, what do I expect going to a yarn store?) and I saw a discontinued colourway in Lion Brand Mandala - Hudson's Bay! I figured this was an acceptable exception to my cold sheeping.
The blanket is done! It's currently drying out from its bath and I'll do a final steam block on it, then off to its recipient!
June goals:
1. Work on the Cable Car Coat a few nights this month.
2. No more yarn!
3. Start something new (I've got something in mind).
4. Survive June.
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.)
