By the skin of my teeth

Hi there! I joined this group at 9 pm on the last day that you could sign up, hence my title "by the skin of my teeth." I really need this group to help keep me on task. I have way more stash that could possibly be knit up in one summer, so I have set some goals for myself as to what I would like to accomplish. They are as follows:
  1. Bloom (Rowan 36) 3 balls of Felted Tweed 573 yrds
  2. Wash Bag (Sarah Dallas Knitting) 2 balls 4ply cotton 372 yrds
  3. Jaywalkers (magknits) 2 skeins Koigu KPPM 350 yrds
  4. Leaf Cravat scarf (IK winter 02/03) 1 skein Louets Gem Opal 225 yrds
  5. Raspy (Rowan Denim) 11 balls of Rowan Denim 1224 yrds
  6. Blue Sky Pleated Skirt 8 skeins 100% alpaca 880 yrds
So that is my list of what I would like to accomplish by Labor day. I will give myself the benefit of the doubt because I am in summer school (both sessions), and that takes up a lot of my time. So if I don't get to Raspy then I won't be upset with myself. All together I would like to have 3,624 yards knit up from my stash by the end of this. I am currently putting up pictures of my stash on my blog in a special albumn, you can find it here at www.southernknitter.typepad.com

My exeptions to using only stash yarn is:
If I go to Tulsa or KC, and have any money, then I am allowed only a little treat (no buying enough yarn to make a sweater).
Also I am allowed to purchase needles if I do not already have them.

Rewards:
I would really like to splurge and buy one of Kim Hargreaves kits. Its really not that expensive, I just dread paying shipping from England. I'm thinking that I will order Fay.

I hope everyone is falling in love all over again with their stash, I know I am. Good luck this summer!!

That's an impressive, yet doable to-do list for a Summer free of yarn acquisitions. Welcome to the group.
