My 2020 shop the stash challenge was going really well for a whole 18 hours, Then a
Bellica yarns posted on Instagram that they had released a new mystery sock box. so I brought it. In my defence I have been collecting Laura's sock boxes since September 2016. I love all the colourways I have received. Out of the months I have knitted I have been able to get a long pair of socks, a short pair of socks, a mitred square, a granny square, and still have left overs. with 2 blankets on the go that contain only Bellica yarns mystery sock box yarn I couldn't not buy the new box.
Apart from the sock club I have made no purchases and have used more yarn then I will be getting in the sock box.
This week I have finished
- 1 Dishcloth
- 1 Adult hat
- 1 Adult cowl
- 1 Baby hat
- 1 Pair baby mittens
- and 11 Blanket squares
This used a total of 367.3 meters of yarn and 1 full skein from my stash.
I am happy with my progress so far and have no guilt over my purchase. Most of the projects I knit are knit out of 100% acrylic yarn, so I am choosing to see my hand dyed merino nylon blend socks as a reward for all the gift crafting I do.
