Stashquistions:

Stash Graph!




I finally had a chance to sit down, weigh my leftovers, and figure out where I stand.

I have slightly less yarn, slightly more skeins, so input was about output for the past few months, who knew?

When I finish the strandwanderer my lace will decrease significantly. I don't have plans at this point to get more. Wollmeise Lace is very hard to get a hold of currently, and for the foreseeable future. I have 2 whole blue skeins, and I showed all of my partials more or less on the podcast.

My stash dash plans will make a dent in the sock yarn, a little bit. I really want to do scrappy socks again, since my scraps are a little out of control at this point.

Random and All Over the Place:
