Hanging in there

I finished my second baby sweater today, out of yarn I bought last Spring, and my next project is going to be a vest out of some Aurora 8 I got in February in exchange for my leftover Olympic Knitting yarn. This is pretty good, I think.

My goal for Summer of Stash wasn't so much to work through as much stashed yarn as possible--though the people who have been zooming through the yardage are darn impressive. My goal was simply not to buy any yarn for the duration. I needed the extra incentive. And so far, except for the Sundara yarns Petals Collection club which I was already signed up for, I have not bought any yarn since a week or two before Memorial Day, so I'm pretty happy about that. I got a little carried away at the beginning of the year, and I feel a little more under control now! The fact that I'm using up some yarn in my stash is just a bonus (grin).

Now, if only my lace project would move along faster so I could use up some of my lace yarn...
