Being an accountant I like spreadsheets and tracking things. And that includes my knitting! I use Ravelry to store my projects and tag them with identifiers but at the end of the day I still keep my Yarn In versus Yarn out spreadsheet in Excel. I have the best of intentions/goal each year to knit down more yarn than I bring in. How did I do in 2020?
- I completed 27 projects this year:
- five pairs of socks
- six blankets
- eight accessories
- four toys
- four sweaters
- I brought in:
- 92.2 skeins of yarn
- 4,269 grams of yarn
- 17,871.60 yards of yarn (16,374.50 meters of yarn)
- I knit or crocheted up:
- 69.18 skeins of yarn
- 15,592.50 yards of yarn (14,320.14 meters of yarn)
This means I did not end hitting my goal. I got really close? I ended up with a net in of roughly 2,300 yarns or 2,050 meters of yarn in to my stash. But all in all I created a lot of beautiful items in an otherwise crazy year. And some of that stash “out” was some super old yarn that needed using up.
I am pretty happy with the yarn I chose to bring in this year. I found myself buying more sweater quantities as I am currently drawn to garment knitting more and more. Probably the a contributing factor to the more in than out as well, lol.
Now….let’s see what I can do in 2021! Happy Knitting!!
