I’m an accountant by trade and I love me some spreadsheets. So of course I have a knitting spreadsheet. I’ve blogged about it before. Below is a screenshot from my 2015 Ravelry projects tab.
This year I completed 35 projects for a total 13,112 yards of yarn. So basically I knit 7.45 miles of yarn. Not to shabby for having a wee one making my life crazy. But I also consider the flip side of my knitting. I added 12,064 yards or roughly 6.85 miles of yarn to my stash through stash acquisition and enhancement. The good news is I knit more than I added! I came out on the net out side of 1,047 feet or just over half of a mile! This is the first year in a long time I ended in a net out position.
Fingers crossed for the same luck in 2016!
Happy Knitting!

That’s so cool!
How can one not love spreadsheets and looking at data! Fun post 🙂
I’m not very (or at all) diligent about tracking how much yarn I use. I really should. Then I would know how much is left, which would help me plan other projects that use the scraps… And then I would KNOW how many miles of wool have passed through my fingers at the end of the year.
It’s very satisfying, isn’t it, to see how many miles have gone into all that lovely work!
That is a goal for the new year, just using my Raverly more
I use knitmeter.com to keep track of my progress. I’m scared to see how much mileage I purchased last year.
