126,326

Hello Internet-

After a little bit of coaxing from my husband and a few dear friends I finally started a blog of my very own.  With no further adieu, let's just jump right in. 

I have a serious knitting problem which is only amplified by me working at an LYS.  I have totaled all of my yarn and my yardage is 126,326.  77.77 miles.  .0090605 of the Earth's diameter.  This simply will not do, I need to start knitting the stash.


Every September my favorite podcast, Stash and Burn hosts a fun little knitalong called Single Skein September.   The idea is to knit up single skeins from your stash during September.  This is the first year I will participate.  I always intend to but something always comes up and I don't.  This year is different, this year I am determined to produce 10 single skein projects in the month of September.  I gathered up all of my non-sockyarn (that part of my stash is for another day......), non-washcloth yarn and this is what I came up with.  Full disclosure, this is not everything.  I forgot about my Malabrigo single skeins when I took this photo.

My first project is a hat for my husband out of Tosh Chunky in the single greatest colorway of all time, Cosmos.   I love this colorway so so much.  It fills my little heart with glee.  I will be back tomorrow with photos of the Cosmos hat in all of it's Tosh glory.

Good Night.
