I Was So, So Good

I ripped out the yarn from another project, I salvaged every useable end, and I did not buy another skein.

Here's my first official finished stash project--the Brea Bag from Norah Gaughan and Berrocco.

Brea Bag from Norah Gaughan

So now, I've not only finished something, but I've used up two skeins of stash yarn. Only like a million to go.

So far, the temptation to buy new yarn has not been too strong. I think that the realization of how much yarn I actually have may have scared me straight for a while.

Whoops! Sorry, it's Cascade 220 held doubled, knit on 10s (because 9 was just too painful).
