One FINISH for September

So far, I have ONE finished product for September. I had intended to finish knitting the Knit for Kids Sweater project on my five day trip to the Allegheny Mountains and I did it. I was so happy when I ran my needle through those final stitches. So, here is a shot of my finished sweater that will be sent off to Guideposts as a gift to a needy child. This makes me feel so happy.

I started the next one, too, and made good progress while on my trip. I knitted in the late afternoons and evenings usually after spending my days on the river in my canoe. (OH, Lordy, but this is fun!!!)

I plan to have one more finish this month - it will be the Penelope Blouse by Oat Couture. I had wanted to have it finished by June but that just never happened. Tomorrow, I will pull it out of the knitting bag and begin to knit my way to my next finish for September.

And, when I got home today from my trip I spent the afternoon in my garage taking photos of yarns I know I will never use. I photographed almost 40 groups of yarn and plan to put them on Ebay in the next couple of days. There are yarns that are handspun from Guatamala, linen on cones, pure silks, drop spindles, weaving and knitting tools, custom dyes for fibers, and lots of wonderful things that I will just never get around to using. I need to share them with someone who really will and this will be another way for me to cut down on the stash. And, this will barely make a dent in it I have to admit. But, it is a good start. I spent the past couple of weeks organizing my stash and putting it in see-through containers in my fiber studio.

Here is to a GREAT MONTH of DE-Stashing!
