YOP Update – Jan 8th, 2012

 It appears this week that I have been bit by startitis.  Roam and Flavia have both been cast on.  Which means that my in progress knitting is up to 12 WIPS.  That’s a lot of WIPS.  So I’ve decided to narrow my focus for the rest of the month and see what I can finish.  I hope to have the reunion cowl, Algonquin, Flavia, the back of  Roam complete, and at least two strips of the blanket finished by the end of the month.  It seems like a lot, but I think that I can manage a good chunk of it.  I’ll keep you posted.

I’ve also added a new running total at the bottom of my list.  I have decided to track my yarn in and out for each month.  I will include all yarn that comes in regardless of source.  Bought yarn, club yarn, and gifted yarn will all be added.  Likewise yarn that is knit or otherwise destashed will be included in the outgoing category.  My goal by the end of 2012 is to have a bigger number on the yarn out then the yarn in side.   

Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s progress.  Hope you all had a lovely fibre filled week.
