I am mainly focusing on finishing the oldest yarn in the stash (everything above September 2023) before October 2025! And I am really happy that I used up 66 grams of that and got it under 1kg! It is also quite surreal having added now the 2025 yarns! But hey I am finishing projects and the yarn that I will have left over from the projects I am working on now (WIP January 2025) will go into the 2025 rows.

I have set myself a 2025 knitting goal and that is to knit 12 different items / 12 different yarns / 12 different designers / 12 different colors. Which could be that I will just knit 12 things.

My January goal was not to cast-on anything new and now my goal for February is to finish the all the yarn that is under 20 gr! What I will knit out of it I am not sure. But I am really excited to cast-on something new.

I am going to cast on a hat for me from the Kaos Chunky Andean Wool – Courageous, I am thinking about adding a thread of Holst Titicaca – Apricot with it. I think it will look great together. And I will need to add more of my random yellow/orange yarns with it. I am excited to see how it will turn out!

Until next time!
