Knitting Stats
Last Week: 55,980 yards/292 skeins
Knitted: 241 yards/2 skeins
Purchased: 1191 yards/6 skein
Destashed: 0 yards/0 skeins
Ending Stash: 56,167 yards/291 skeins (I found a 763 yard/5 skein discrepancy, so I have less on hand than I thought! Yay)
Spending YTD: $544.82
In: Technically I didn’t buy anything, I received 5 skeins from my sister. OK, so I did pay for a skein to be sent to my test knitter, but alas the beauty does not come to me. And just maybe I did order something from Forbidden, but Hubster paid for it, and it ain’t here yet! OK, so maybe I did buy a skein for a hat, I needed a washable bright blue.
Out: Showl knitting, it’s done!!! And not much yarn was left. And I started clogs for Diva

FOs: Shoudler Showl!!! I love it, it will be hard to give it up to Diva. But I have another showl idea percolating, this time with a lace border along the bottom.

Great metrics! Congrats on making your 7/7 days of stitching time this week. Stash management is just hard for those of us who really like fabric. At least you have some going out this week.
It’s a mental thing on making 7, somedays I just want to slack off, but then I think of the goal and I do something. The stash, oh well, it won’t go to waist OR waste! 🤣

Congratulations on another great sewing week! I see lots of checkmarks on your September goals!
It’s easy when the projects are small! 😂 Thanks!
>
Your Showl is just great! You should definitely make another!
I will, but a different pattern for sure. Thanks
>
Beautiful patterning in the Showl. I feel your pain on the fabric in. It’s hard to pass up great deals.
And I can’t really claim it was all a good deal! LOL

You are making progress on your September goals. I’ve not been that good this month.
I was surprised when I looked at things this week it wasn’t too bad, but I still have a long road with little month left!
>
763 less yards is good:)
The thing is, I have no clue what I made with it!! LOL.
>
Lol maybe it never existed in the first place
You have big september goals but you are well on your way. Love all that justifying.
😂😂 Yes, I am good at justification!! Now if I was just as good at not buying stuff!
>
Oooh, 96% sewing days! No wonder you are getting something done each week. That’s a great discrepancy to find – at least two skeins!
For some reason I had deducted the skein count, but not the yardage. Oh well, it’s still a neck and neck race with the in/out totals, I am only down 20 yards for the year! 😂😂

Hey, if the fabric or yarn hasn’t arrived it doesn’t need to be counted. And, if you send a skein to a tester doesn’t that count as OUT? You are brave to keep tabs of the costs. Me, not so much costs as amounts. I’ve been successful in not buying yarns this year. On the other hand I’m not getting much knitting done and finished either. Sigh. Maybe new hats for the grands this year.
I always say I should have been an inventory admin, I love keeping counts and order. But you wouldn’t know that to look at my messy sewing room! LOL > >
You are doing great with your goals, and your projects are all beautiful! And your pupper is a cutie, too 🙂
Thanks! But don’t let that cute face fool you. He’s a brat!! 😊

But an adorable one!
