Hearts and Stars
The baby blanket is finally complete!
Pattern: Hearts and Stars from Adorable Knits for Tots
Yarn: 7 balls Bubblegum Cotton-ease
I've been thinking about my stash reduction. I'm on a yarn diet, which will keep out new yarn, but I need to set some FO goals. I joined the sweater a month kal. The first three sweaters (Scooby, Marc, and Harry) just need collars and seaming, so it should be easy to make it to April. I'd also like to knock out a Christmas present a month to ease the holiday stress. My last goal is to finish twelve pairs of socks this year. If I can meet all three, I'll think my stash will be in good shape by 2008.
