January Summary

This year I think I will do a monthly stash report instead of weekly.  My knitting progress has been very, very slow.  I am trying to learn Brioche knitting and it has been slow and painful.  But I am determined to master it.  But I am happy with time I have been able to spend at my sewing machine.

Knitting:

Yarn in this month:  0 yards

Yarn out this month:  235 yards (1 hat and 1 headband)

Fabric:

Yards in this month:  0 yards

Yards out this month:  16 yards

Pillowcases

Dresses

Two Little Mug Rugs

 I love making little things with my embroidery machine when I am not using it to machine quilt.  This year I am again joining the Joyful Quilter's Tablescraps Challenge.  This month's theme was Snowmen and the color is red.

One Monthly Goal

 I completed Block 3 of Jardin de Roses.  I am looking forward to prepping and stitching Block 4.

I am going to link up with other friends on Elm Street Quilts to see their progress.

Block 3

OMG

 I have chosen another applique in progress quilt to complete this year.  This year I will be working on Jardin de Roses Quilt.  I had finished two of the nine applique blocks several years ago.

Block 1

Block 2

Block 3
This month I want to complete this block.  

Patty at Elm Street Quilts has helped me make progress on some languishing projects.  I am so happy to join up with her again this year.

End of Year Stash Reports

 

This is a summary of my yarn and fabric numbers for 2021.

Yarn Added during 2021:  14665 yards ( I did not do very well knitting from stash!)

Yarn Used in 2021:  6924 yards

Yarn Removed From Stash:  684 yards

 I just added my yarn inventory yardage and it seems as though I have 86,209 yards.  I did the math three times to make sure.  I really hope I made a HUGE mistake in my calculations (but I probably didn't).  There will be no sleeping this year.  My fiber resolutions for the 2022 are:

• Plan projects around existing stash.  One exception is I can purchase yarn for Mitten Advent Garland.
• Process/Destash more yarn than I purchase.
• Only work on projects I enjoy.

I did a little better with my fabric numbers.

Fabric purchased this year:  14 yards

Fabric processed this year:   41.75 yards

I am off to visit some friends at quiltpaintcreate to see what they are up to.
