Happy New Year!! This is my end of year totals/tally. My 2019 goals are simple. Use stash, spin stash, make what makes me happy, and try to control what comes into the stashes. (That last part always seem to be ignored. lol)
I did finish a cute hat in December. I just needed a break from the sweater and shawl knitting. It was the perfect item, and only took a couple hours. It is knit in Malabrigo Rasta in the "Fucsia" colorway which is a bright pink and has a huge pompom on top. The pattern was "Perky Little Hat".
It seems most of my projects were larger items this year so the count is rather low. 3 shawls, 2 sweaters, 1 cowl, 1 hat, 1 queen size afghan for a total of 8 items.
There's still the sweater and shawl in progress to start the year off with. I also plan to start a "Find Your Fade" this month. I have it kitted up already. Plans for more sweaters and shawls are also in the works.
I only managed to finish a little over a pound of the four I wanted to spin for the year. I hope to get more spun in the upcoming year than in 2018.

Catching Up
It's been a while since I made a post here. I seem to be in a pink mood last few months.
My Sipila Sweater was finished and came out great.
I also started and finished the Fallen Cloud Shawl. I used Malabrigo Rios in "English Rose" for this. Since I had bought four skeins to make sure I had enough yarn, I just knit an extra repeat to use it up. I had about three grams left after bind off.
My current projects are the unfinished "Spring Garden Shawl" and the "Triple Dutch Cardigan".
There hasn't been much spinning lately. The last finished ones were during Tour de Fleece.
There's a couple of Corgi Hill Farm fibers in progress fibers on the Minstrel (Pink Peacock) and Hansen (Lavender Tea).
The guild meeting is tomorrow and I plan to attend. I also need to pay my dues for the upcoming year.
Pat took me to the New England Fiber Festival in November where I did some serious stash enhancement. A few more shawl and sweater quantities were added the the stash. There was also a visit to WEBS afterwards.
