I've had so much fun working on the first Year of Projects that I can't wait to get stuck into Year Two! It was really interesting to see everyone's different take on what the Year meant for them and I got some great ideas for how to manage my list this time around.
I've built up a small yarn stash in the last year or so, between taking part in swaps and receiving amazing Christmas and Birthday presents from my friends. Most of the new yarn has been left unused until now, as I've been focusing on my first Year's list! So I decided this year would be a stash-busting list, designed to finally give me a chance to knit or crochet up some of my lovely new yarns.
Here's what I'm currently thinking of working on (all links are to Ravelry)

Love it, can't wait to see all that yummy yarn transforming into stunning FO
ReplyDeleteYou have had some wonderful swap partners! I especially love the Candy Skein Yummy Fingering in Arctic Mint. I think this is a great approach to the list.
ReplyDeleteThe Arctic Mint was one of the limited colourways; I treated myself to it when I was ordering yarn for swaps and giveaways. It may yet become a pair of socks..
DeleteI love the patterns you've chosen for the yarn in your stash and the yarn yet for patterns some of it is just gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing your year ahead.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fab collection of yarn, and I really like the patterns you've matched them up with. Look like you're going to have a great set of FOs by the end of the year :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful yarn - great list. Look forward to your updates. xoxox
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have planned your list around your yarn and your stash is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh such pretty yarn! Very much looking forward to it all being knit up into more beautiful things! Good luck on your list!
ReplyDeleteLike the idea of picking the yarn that you want to use. I would be way to intimidated by that approach. I'm looking forward to seeing your projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty array of yarn and all matched beautifully to patterns, it will be lovely to see the work you do this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous you have Artic Mint! I really wanted it but couldn't afford it. I look forward to seeing what it turns in to!

ReplyDeleteSome gorgeous yarn and love how you've already matched some up with patterns. Love the Kindle cover and added that to my library to find later. I don't have a kindle...but...maybe later. Best of luck to you as we all embark on this mission of year 2.
ReplyDeleteas always you have a great eye for color. I tend to obsess over a particular color family each season, so i really appreciate your ability to be eclectic.
ReplyDeleteOff to check that Kindle cover--just wanted to say that your yarns and patterns are lovely and fit the way I think of you from reading your blog for a year! :) You are all set for a wonderful yarn year!
