Seriously, I can't really believe that it is the end of yet another month already!
Where is time going?
Anyway, nothing to do but try to keep up with it running away :O
As it is the end of the month it is time to update my Stash-busting efforts for the month of March, and also show you my finished FOs which I missed out on last week.
First I have Jas's Socks.
These weigh in at 217g
Next I have my Fingerless Gloves for Hubby - Weighing in at 102g
These were a great, quick knit, but turned out to be rather on the big side of things.
Hubby has not got the smallest hands but his hands don't really fit well in these :(
They are pretty loose around the wrist and need taking in on the hands themselves - no, I know what you are thinking - I won't be ripping back - no way!!
This is a bit of a bummer, as he wanted to use these to work in his workshop (which is pretty cold - even now), but on the plus side, I now have a Christmas gift knit for someone with big hands ;)
I am busy trying to put together a pattern that will be better suited to his hands, and once it is done, I will share it with you all.
I was hoping to have Kays' Socks done for today as well, but they are not yet complete so I will count them to next months total :)
So the Tally for March's Stash-Busting is 319g
Added to February's total of 925g
Gives me a new Stash-Busting total of 1244g!
So a recap:
1. Jassy' Jumper - Completed
2. Birthday Gift for my Sister-In-Law - Completed
3. Birthday Scarf for Kayla - Completed
4. Socks for me - Completed
5. Socks for Jas - Completed
6. Socks for Kay
7. Pullover for Hubby
wow! You have made excellent progress. Congrats!

Da hast du doch ein schönes Ergebnis für den März! Ich hoffe, es geht dir wieder gut und du hast dich erholen können. Habe ein schönes Osterfest mit deiner Familie! Ich fasse es nicht, dass es bei uns wieder schneit. Aber da müssen wir wohl durch. LG Sabine.
ReplyDeleteHallo Sabine,
DeleteDankeschön :) Ich wunsche dir und deine Familie auch ein Wunderschönes Osterfest, und hoffe das es bald wärmer wird! Wir haben heute Nebel und Regen, kann sein das es wieder schneit :( Ich möchte aber im Garten!
LG

Stash busting! What a great concept, will definitely need to do something like this myself. Love those socks, they look so soft, warm and toasty.

My stash-busting is quite random. I should count what I used up though. It's nice to see your totals. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Regula,
DeleteIt is quite interesting to see the amount of yarn I actually have lying around here and putting the weight to the projects does give me a bit more awareness - always a good thing, helps to put the handbrake on when visiting my LYS :)
Have a super Easter.

Nice projects, especially the socks with the cable pattern are beautiful. Nice and warm to wear. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth,
DeleteThank you so much. I hope you had a lovely Easter.

Oh boy! Looking at your stash busting total makes feel slightly ashamed, I haven't made nearly as much progress this year, time to step up!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
DeleteI can't actually say why I am so driven to finish this stash, I guess I feel bored looking at it and so I want it out of my hair, but don't feel bad, I definitely am generally not like this!
Thanks for visiting.

I just look at your stash tallys and am in awe!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good about sticking to the project goals you set.
Hi WonderWhyGal,
DeleteThank you kindly. I must admit that I am surprising myself at the moment, as perseverance isn't a strong point of mine :)
Thanks for visiting.

Ooooh -- I love the texture on those socks!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
DeleteThey are extremely warm I must tell you, so nothing to wear in spring! LOL!
Thanks so much for visiting.

BEAUTIFUL! I must do a stash-buster next year...maybe I'll set myself a challenge for next month.
ReplyDeleteHi Corrie,
DeleteIt is nice to feel like I am accomplishing something, and each time I look in my stash drawer an see the stash diminishing it does feel pretty good I must say. At least the fishmoths will have less to eat this year LOL!!
Thanks for visiting.

Lovely projects! My favorite are the gloves.
ReplyDeleteThose socks rock! I love the utilitarian look of the gloves. They make me want to get out in the yard on these still chilly days and get some work done.
