Back from vacation & checking in

Hi all,

Well I'm back from my vacation. This was one of the exceptions I had listed but I'm happy to report that no yarn came home with me. I went to one shop in Sandpoint that had some local yarn, but after thinking about it I decided that I'd really only be buying it because I could, not that I really needed and/or wanted it. At which point it was easy to resist. I'm hoping some of that will stay with me long after the summer!

Before I left I managed to get 2 of the 3 rooms where yarn is stored inventoried. So here's the status of the inventory to date:

264,409.26 yds of yarn!

Plus since I initially didn't inventory the content of kits (though I do plan to go back to that), the following kits:

5 cardigans
2 pullovers
2 vests
6 hats
3 mittens
1 hat & mittens
7 scarves
1 shawl
11 socks
4 novelty items
1 pillow
4 purses
1 throw

To date, I haven't finished any projects, but....

I have otherwise destashed 10,274.7 yds of yarn (with another 2850 sale pending), the 2 pullover kits and 1 of the cardigan kits. Which I feel pretty good about even if it is a drop in the bucket!

So I'm hoping to finish the inventory at least this coming weekend!

I wonder how many times you can travel to the moon and back on a zipline made of your stash?
