Yarn Inventory: February

So I found more yarn…… here is the thing. When we bought this apartment and moved in I was pregnant. First trimester exhausted, and then covid hit and I was working crazy hours. Then I gave birth, and as I have talked about a bit, KA was born with severe allergies so my entire focus was on her and work. I worked during my maternity leave and my job is very very draining and so about 3 years and some months later, I have finally the energy to look through some of my boxes. And I found some more yarn, just lopi since that is what I loved to knit from!

New Cast-ons February:

  • Lopi laptopcase – I am not sure how long this will take me or how much lopi!
  • Raja Sweater for KA – going to be the March sweater.

Bind-off February:

  • Kaos Test knit sweater – it is like a cloud. No left over yarn!
  • Hot cup of Cocoa Socks – love these socks!

The WIPs:

  • December blanket – I think I do one day a month! But I want to work on it more!
  • Ibsen Sweater – I think this might be my April sweater
  • Sunshine on the Path Shawl – love knitting it!
  • Mini Magic Toadstool socks – I just haven’t done anything. But I want to finish these before I start on the next pair of socks!

What I want to knit:

  • Star of the Snow socks – I just really want to own a pair!
  • Mobi sweater – both a junior and an adult
  • Seaglass Sweater – would eat up all my yarn stash!

So far I have finished 2/12 sweaters this year, and then 3/24 finished items for 2024 and I didn’t buy any new yarn in February! So very good month!

At the moment I have 6 WIPS going on at the same time and I think that might be a bit too much, I want to have around 4-5 going on at the same time so I need to finish at least one more until I start on a new one! I also want to start on one from the yarn stash every month.
