In preparations for Flash your Stash today, in an amongst the many other chores I had to get done, I went through and reorganized my stash. And discovered a horror.

I have too much yarn for me to really justify buying more! *cries*

I've been working some on my Preemie Feather and Fan blanket today, and got a few more rows along. It's really about 2/3ds till done. I'm gonna make a bunch of those, and probably some hats and booties too, so I can send them off. Though, I'm considering instead asking local hospitals if they'll take the donations instead. Or perhaps in addition to ... so I can play and support my community too.

J's spindle came today. I haven't opened the box, because he'll want to do that himself, but I'm very pleased that it actually got here so quickly. It took all of two days to arrive .. very quick shipping indeed. If he wants another one, I'll definitely go to them first. :)

I also took a nice trip to the library today, and checked out a bunch of knitting books. Some are just for reference, some are specifically for patterns. I really want to find a large stitch dictionary. I should look on half.com and ebay, I know, but I was really hoping just to find something through the library.
I am in the middle of half a dozen projects really, three of which are actually on needles, the rest are remaining in my head. The baby towel .. knitted at the wrong gauge and thus larger than projected. Preemie blanket #1 .. about halfway done, and frought with minor mishaps until I finally put stitch markers on the needles. Block one of the jewel-tone afghan I will finish sometime in 2010, if not later.

Whee!
