Stash-Busting Update - March; FOs


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
8. Cleo for me
9. Scarf for me
10. Fingerless Gloves for hubby - Completed
11. Perfectly Pink Sweater

How is your stash-busting going?
I will be sharing this over at Tamis, Linda, Linda and Andrea today.
Have a super Weekend and a Happy Easter.

  2. 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.

  4. My stash-busting is quite random. I should count what I used up though. It's nice to see your totals. :-)

    1. Hi Regula,
      It 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.

  6. 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!

    1. Hi Cathy,
      I 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.

    1. Hi Corrie,
      It 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!!

  15. Those 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.
