My stash of yarn is a mess right now, I have long since run out of places to keep all of the balls of yarn. Last year, I began ramping up my creations for charity, like For the Children of Pine Ridge group on ravelry. I like crafting for charity, and I need to get rid of excess yarn, so those two things should work nicely together. The problem is, I've purchased more yarn (at least its in matching colors). The goal is to knit sweaters for the babies, kids and teens (and perhaps parents, if the sweaters fit) at the school, to get rid of a lot of this yarn. It works well, because a lot of it is acrylic, and most people aren't allergic to acrylic.
I inherited much of my yarn stash from my mother and aunt, so its not entirely my fault for having so much... right?
- So, as for ravelry, my queue of 'want to do' projects is over 4,000, so I'm deleting projects I no longer have an interest in doing, or wouldn't be feasible for me to do.
- I'm locating and photographing old projects and trying to remember when and for what they were created.
- I'm finishing old WIPs and newer WIPs and documenting my thoughts on them.
Documenting projects serves as a memory aid, as my memory is so bad, of what I was doing in my life certain years. Its... somewhat nostalgic. I found ravelry perhaps around 2009, when I was transitioning from high school to college. I currently can't remember everything that happened then, so seeing these old projects brings back nostalgia and memories, for better or worse.
So this month some of the things I made:
