My destashing

I haven't been knitting much lately because we moved and I have been away from my computer for a while, but also because it is so HOT! I usually knit at night when it is cooler and during the day I can get the house organized... a little... day by day... It is not easy with 2 under 4 kids...

= Yesterday, I opened my stash moving boxes though; 3 of them and I was almost able to make it all stay in one big container! Notice that I said almost because as you can see on the right of the photo, there is still some yarn in that plastic bag! LOL
I still have some serious destashing efforts to do...

But at least, my thread cotton cohabits now with the rest of my yarn and I have a whole closet in the Office/Craft Room to store my yarn and stuff! WOOHOOO!!!

= Anyway, right now, I am working on another Picovoli, modifying the pattern a little. As mentionned in my SOS Goals, at the beginning of the summer, I thought I would have to use an Exception for getting the yarn for to make that top, but instead I decided to use some Bernat Baby Yarn that was in my stash for about 2 years and to make my Pico a winter top that I like to call my Cami Pico! :) See it here...

= Talking about Exceptions, I "only" used my "joker" twice: First time, and as it was for getting the yarn to make my Tempting II along with the Sexy Knitters Club (it was mentioned in my Goals but I haven't cast on yet though...) and the second time... well, the second time I just couldn't resist to that sale online... $1.47 per skein of Caron Simply Soft!!! I got 8 skeins of Copper Kettle color... but let's say that was my exception day for July, OK? [grin]

But I am thinking about making my Tubey with that yarn and that was also mentioned in my SOS Goals previously, sooooo... I think I am being pretty much faithful to my SOS commitment so far! YAY!!! ;D

= BTW, when I wrote my SOS Goals, I didn't know I would be moving in another house. Back then, I wished I could get rid of the cardboxes containing my stash that were sitting in the hallway and the living room, and I would have a Craft Room... That was summited under "My rewards"... Well, it was exactly what I had in mind but I can tell that my 2 wishes have been granted in advance and I am not going to complain, right? LOL

Happy Summer and Happy Destashing to all! :)

I know this is 2 years later, but if you have not used it, would you be willing to sell your Caron Copper Kettle yarn? Thanks, Sherrill
