Stashalong week 4

Not an awful lot this week. I have been concentrating on other things, namely finishing my clapotis.



I have used 2 totally different coloured skiens one is more purply and the other is more blue, you can just tell the difference if you look closely at the image, IRL it is so much more obvious.

I have also this weekend gone taken part in a bank holiday challenge, it was to knit a full sized garment in the time between friday evening an monday evening. And this was as far as I got.



And this is what I am making




Its out of june last years simply knitting, I think I have probably cast on the wrong size but I will see the project through eventually.

Anf finally, the results of last weeks stashalong. I think I have lost my flair a little after such a good start, the number of items I've made has dwindled, but at the same time I have been making much larger items.

The start of a stashalong

And a very good start if I don't say so myself.

The reason for my stashalong is that I need to clear some of the yarns that I have, I really think 2 rather large under bed storage boxes, 8 plastic crates, 3 crisp box sized cardboard boxes and numerous carrier bags are just a little excessive! I also need to raise funds for new stock lines and yarns in my shop.

So this week, I have made many items, just for a change I seem to have my knitting mojo in full swing. It's been so refreshing the last 4-5 days or so to enjoy knitting rather than knitting for knittings sake.

So here are my finished items



I finished this item this week, but started last week, an LTK flirty skirty but made at my buyers request with a ruffle instead of the lace detail


A large pair of longies made to my own pattern, using BFL hand dyed by Chrissy at brightdyes



A pair of shorts made to my own pattern and using Chrissy's yarn



A pair of shorts again made to my own pattern and using Chrissy's yarn.






An finally 6 pairs of LTK slippers made using Chrissy's BFL in a range of sizes from newborn up to approx 4 years.

And next week I hope I can make the same amount if not a little more, this little lot has used up around 800grams of my stash. Only another 9.something kilos to go.
