My Summer Wrap Up

Summer ends here in the States tomorrow and so here is my wrap up --not too bad....

My goals are in black and the outcome colored:

1. Finish my UFOs which right now is a Rowan Sweater, lace scarf, from SASE and my Klee Scarf. Knitted 18 inches of the 60 inch Klee Scarf, completed back of Rowan sweater, & frogged the lace scarf and rewound the yarn.
2. Keep up on my Under-Cover Club afghan squares (2 a month) Yep! 8 complete
3. Make a hat for my blog friends Michele’s charity group. No
4. Knit another pair of socks (or 2) from my giant pile of sock yarns – Yep 2 pairs complete and 2 more OTN
5. Re-knit a shrug I made and had to frog completely as it was too small! No

Rules:1. I can buy a skein if needed to finish a project (don't think I'll need this, but...) Had to buy 2 skeins for a class I took.
2. I can buy yarn when I go to Alaska in 2 weeks. Only bought 1 for myself
3. I can buy yarn if I need something specific for a gift that I don’t have in my stash. Yep 2 skeins for a wine bag for Christmas
4. I have a July coupon from my LYS that is “buy-one-ball-get-one-free” for my nieces slippers for Christmas. Yep yarn for slipper purchased

More destashing:
9 - balls given away in a SWAP
15 balls sold on e-bay
Rowan book sold on ebay
Debbie Macomber book passed on to a friend
Mobius Kit ( 8 hanks) sold on ebay
Used up a leftover ball of yarn and made aftgan squares for a charity project
5 dishcloths knit
1 lone ball of Kureyon made into felted coasters
1 ball alpaca into a finished scarf.
I had started another lace scarf that I wasn't happy with and frogged it, but I found a shawlette pattern that I can use it on

I did get 13 more balls of sock yarn though (mostly bought with paypal money form the stash I sold)...Oh and 2 books 40% off at Knitpicks!

I don't know how successful I was, but it sure made me aware of my yarn and projects I need to finish/start. My yarn room is much more organized and I did get some things off the needles.
