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!

Each month I will blog a summary of my achievements.

Projects: I finished a total of 9 projects this month (including 2 WIPs). 6 of them fit into the month, 3 there Non-B-projects. I used up 8 skeins from my stash and skeins for projects already started, but not finished (WIP). I bought 5 skeins of new yarn and got gifted 2 skeins. All skeins except two are already in use for new projects. I also started a new project, which is not finshed yet.
