Half Flash

I can't officially Flash My Stash since most of it is packed away but I have left my sock yarn stash out. I bring you my smaller than I though Sock Yarn Stash:

Mixed in there are 4 skeins of STR, a couple Lorna's Laces, 3 Trekking, 5 Koigu, some KnitPicks and a skein of both a Marniers and Seahawks colored yarn. Last year I figured I had about 17 pairs worth of yarn. I don't think that has changed much. For every skein I use, I seem to be buying one to replace it. If it worked any other way, I wouldn't have a stash to flash.

Weekend plans (or nothing going)

There really isn't much happening here this weekend which means more time for knitting! We are having family over for the Super Bowl so there will be some cleaning and cooking to do.

Monday is the Purly Girls Yarn Swap/Sale. I am pretty excited for this and really need to go through my stash. I don't know how much desireable yarn but I am going to bring it all because you never know.

My new assistant is also a hair stylist on the side. We started talking about my hair yesterday. Is it wierd to have you co-worker/person you manage do something like cut and color you hair? She said she would so it but also understands if I think it is kind of weird. I am torn.

I have started planning this year's VIP trip to Tahoe at work. It isn't until June and I am so ready to go!

Stash Enhancement

Honestly, what am I going to do with all these potential socks?

Nodding Violet and Farmhouse
Velvet Moon

The start of my Fair Isle hat. This is so addicting...

Next?

I have been wanting to start another sweater for a few weeks and would like to use something in my stash which would be either: Black Cascade 220, Olive green Cotton Fleece or Brown double-stranded Palette from KnitPicks. I found this today and am in love with it. I read on the Sexy Knitters blog that you only need 600-800yds of worsted yarn. Perfect! The Cascade 220 is only 4 skeins and I have been wondering why I didn't buy more. No pattern up yet but by the time I get around to buying it I should be done with the socks and most of the throw.

Roll Call for the weekend

I am really excited about both the projects I started this week. Needless to say, the other 2 I had going have been ignored for now.

Here is the throw from the kit Hubby got me for my Birthday. Perfect for our new couch and living room colors. Only downfall is the Suri Dream. I cursed this yarn last time I knit with it but luckily here it is only in chucks of 4 rows.

I am trying my own pattern for these socks with a little help from my stitchionary. I wasn't sure about the colors when I bought the yarn but I really like them now.

Lastly, here is the sock yarn I bought the other day. Just when I start making a dent in the stash, I buy another 2 skeins. In my defense, I thought I was getting 20% off for my b-day month but it turns out it is good the month after your b-day. Don't ask me why but I see more yarn in my future in about 2 weeks.
