Baa Baa Black Sheep Have You Any Wool?
Yes Sir, Yes Sir, A Garden Tub Full
Well, despite hitting the 50 FO mark, my stash is still huge. I'd really hoped to get it at least level with the top of the tub. (It would have helped if I'd made more sweaters and less hats.) There are improvements. If you check out the pics from my first entry, you'll see that there is no longer a pile on the floor, and the yarn isn't spilling out of the tub. I think I managed to use up at least a garbage bag's worth of yarn.
The FO list-
21 Critter Knitter Blankets
The Ab Fab Afghan
25 Hats
A pair of baby socks
Joshua's Afghan
The Monkey Sweater
The kids are in bed, so I'll get pictures of Charlotte in her sweater (and her Lola hat, since I never bothered to have her model that one either) tomorrow.

Posted by: debbie at September 5, 2006 03:41 AMCongrats on 50 FOs!!! You inspire me, I need to finish 2 for each I cast on. That might work to finish my 30+ started objects. :-)
Posted by: Pattie at September 5, 2006 09:37 AMCongratulations, Christina! I knew you would make it. Not only have you decreased your stash, you have done much of this by generously making charity projects. It was so great to see you on Monday. I only wish I had been a bit more on time.

I cant believe that you knit a garbage worth of yarn so quick. Maybe you will have to knit larger items next time if you want to use more yarn, or maybe teach some neighbourhood kids to knit and give some to them.
