A Productive Weekend Needs a Reward
I actually didn't think I would do it, but I got darn close. I finished section 7 and am halfway through section 8, which means I am halfway done with the Curlicue! You can't see me right now (which is probably a good thing) but I am doing this dance around my apartment in celebration of kicking some pregger arse on this blanket.
I also managed to package up a portion of my stash to send off to to my fellow knitters. I got so many requests I am actually digging through my stash to make sure there isn't more that I can let go of. So if you haven't heard from me yet, it doesn't mean I don't have yarn for you. I might! So give me another day, there is yarn all over our apartment right now. (Space bags. Seems like such a good idea, 'til you have to open them up and vacumm them again...and again...)
All this "work" and no vodka tonic to celebrate. So I pulled out some sacred and oh-so-special Schaefer Anne (I usually only pet it and put it back in the stash) and cast on Falling Leaves. For ME.

Oh my goodness! I can't believe you had that much yarn to destash! Wowza! Must feel nice to have that off your back.
Pretty Schaefer Anne, your socks will be gorgeous!
That is an IMPRESSIVE stack of boxes, my dear. And congrats on the curlicue!!
OMG, is that only a portion of your stash?! I'm going to show this picture to my partner, and then he will realize that I'm right when I say that I'm only an amateur when it comes to stashing yarn :-) I'm looking forward to become an expert yarnstasher, and I'm training as hard as I can (it's important to try to reach ones goals in life isn't it ;-)
That's only part of your stash - I'm impressed that you could part with it in the first place.
I'm loving the way the curliecue is coming along - even if I can't spell it and I have no idea how it works.
Wow, the blanket is really coming along and looking great!!! and I'm glad I'm not the only one who rewards herself by casting on a new project! ;-)
huzzah! curlicue is really coming along! you must be so excited :) that blanket is going to be treasured for years.
the blankie is a major project! looks lovely and drapey.
socks for you is a good thing!
Wow, that's a lot of blanket and a lot of boxes!
Wow..I'm a new knitter so I don't have a stash. I think I would never leave and be stuck in my chair knitting as fast as I could if I had all that wonderful yarn. How lucky you are.
