Yesterday I calculated how many yards of yarn I have in my stash, it's around 25,000. I know pretty pathetic! I have been on a mission to try and knit down my stash for quite some time, with little success. Due to my other addiction which is collecting knitting books, everytime I get one I have to get that new yarn to knit that must have project, such as the Emma Peel dress I just finished for Chloe.
Well I am saying it here, I am back on the stash wagon. No more yarn purchases for me! So now I have to adapt an existing yarn with a project in one of my *new* books (I don't have that much will power). I recently bought 'SimpleSTYLE' by Ann Budd at my local yarn store (LYS), K2TOG in Albany, Ca. There are many fun projects, unfortunately the one I want the Offset Raglan the gauge is 5 st = 1 in and the yarn I have Elsebeth Lavold's Angora is 4 st = 1 in. I am going to attempt a conversion, it might end up in disaster, I am hoping with a little bit of book keeping it will work out. So here goes, I am off to cast-on!
