Stash Down A to Z Each month, we will be selecting a letter and consulting our queues to knit or crochet a pattern that begins with that letter. Join us on our alphabetical journey as we whittle down our stashes and our queues!

Alpha Bravo Charlie- Monday Meeting is my weekly blog feature about my progress in this group.

December had started and we left letter "A" behind and come to letter "B". I picked three projects for this month - a WIP, a new project using stash yarn and a extra project, if there is still time.

My WIP are the Bulky Boot Socks. I just found out, that I started them nearly two years ago. High time to finish them. I manage to finish the first sock and finally cast on the second one. I knitted just a few rows as I am concentrating on the new project at home. But these will do fine for knitting at my LYS (planned for Friday and Saturday).

The new project - for which I picked Trekking hand art in the colourway Feuerland (a yarn which sits in my stash for about 2 years)- is the Barad Dur Shawl from Susan Pandorf. So be aware - the foundation for the evil tower is laid! I managed it up to row 21.

And if I have really time, I want to make me a pair of mitts - either the Brontes Mitts or the Belle Ruffle Gloves. Either way I will use stash yarn.

As always I sneaked in some extra work: I finished my Strider Cowl and crocheted a headband to keep my ears warm (while on my new bike - note to myself: Must blog about my awesome bike here!) and made a mobile cosy from the leftovers.
