Filed under Project Spectrum v2.0
Finally, I have caught up on all my bloglines reading – it seemed a little odd reading about plans for Christmas in January – but then I have never considered myself to be normal.
Whilst reading, I came across a few interesting things, Project Spectrum v. 2.0 is starting next month, I have to say I am looking forward to it. Last year, I loved looking over the Flickr group at the array for projects, I also got some great ideas for future knits.
I am not sure if the postcard swap is running this time, I think that was what I enjoyed the most, I got to “met” six different people, got to create some cards and in return ended up with an amazing display of card – the cards where only taken down just before Christmas.
The next interesting thing I found was Knit From Your Stash 2007! I have always tried to manage a small stash, only buying yarn for a set project, not planning to far in the future and showing amazing power in John Lewis. However, over the last few months my stash has steadily increased. I received a lot of wool as gifts last year – from exchanges and birthday gifts, couples with my new obsession of buying yarn online. I now have a stash.
What I loved about Knit From Your Stash, is the simplicity of the rules (and the fact you can change them to suit your needs) – you have to love rule 2.a. Sock yarn does not count. What? You think we are made of stone?
I am going to try and link both projects, however, it may be a slight problem as all my yarn is blue or grey, so I will be extremely busy in February and March. With not much in knit in April, as I have no yellow or pink wool (although I have nearly finished my green cardigan).
