holding my own...

Two weeks into the new year....and I'm still attacking the stash. (For someone with the attention span of a gnat, this is very very good.)

'My cup of tea' socks are finished.  The leftover ball of yarn got tossed into the bag holding the sock yarn blanket.  One skein out of the yarn closet.

Next...

Joji Locatelli's Three Color Cashmere Cowl...out of stashed yarn, not cashmere. I've made this cowl twice before, and obviously love it or I wouldn't have made it the second time.  It's portable, and easy, and you can use any kinds of leftovers in the stash.  Three colors?  Four would work, as would five or six.  The black yarn was gifted from a dear high school friend who was helping HER friend who closed her yarn shop.  The grey was bought in Damariscotta, ME three years ago, and came from a small spinning mill on PEI. Souvenir yarn...which counts as a souvenir and not officially 'stash', but today I'm counting it as stash. And the purple?  Honestly...who knows?  One skein of mystery yarn.  This cowl won't use up all the yarn, but I'm making a dent.

OOPS.

Stash diving, I found this UFO. (what was I thinking when I started this?? STRIPES?!?) If only it wasn't using my FAVORITE FAVORITE Jamieson Spindrift....sigh.  I couldn't throw it out...and I'm NOT leaving it 'UF' forever.  I'm ripping this apart.  I'm adding it back into the stash.

Four skeins out of the stash....four skeins into the stash.

 

Holding my own.

I had a 'what was I thinking' moment as well. Mine did not involve stripes rather, black fingering yarn on dark size 1 dpn needles.
Your cowl looks lovely!
