I am mainly focusing on finishing the oldest yarn in the stash (everything above September 2023) and I am going to try to finish almost all of it (except for the lopi) before 2025.

So far I have finished 8/12 sweaters this year, and 14/24 finished items for 2024. I am behind on all of the goals but I have two sweaters in my WIP at the moment and I have so little left of the December blanket!

My goal for next weigh in is:

  • Lopi under 500 gr!
  • Start on a new sweater

I might combine those two goals and knit a lopi sweater. I want to use the kambgarn lopi for a sweater for KA. I also want to knit a leftover yarn sweater with all of the Peruvian yarn, I am at the moment knitting two more sweaters with that yarn so I will have some more leftovers 🙂

I am really happy that I finished some yarn (the random blue yarn), I know it was just 18 gr but it’s gone!

Until next time!
