End of month yarn stats:  52 entries, 86 skeins, 24203.20 metres, 9653 grams.

April:  Over, as it should be.  At least, close enough that I'll call it over.  It wasn't horrible, but between slight work drama causing unnecessary waves and all the anniversaries, I'm happy it's done.

Successfully didn't buy yarn again!  And I finished two projects.  I could have finished the fingerless mitts, but I started another project instead.  I didn't check the 'wheel', but I thought about it more, so that counts, yeah?

May goals:

1.  Finish fingerless mitts.

2.  Look at the 'wheel' all month, but don't you dare use it!

3.  Try not to buy yarn.

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.
