The fabulous Ms Prudence asked about the goals for the year. I actually have two so there is a 50/50 shot of my making them. And really I am being soooo easy on myself. I am adopting Nannette’s wonderful Stash Reduction Goal {SRG} instead of outright LINT-ing it this year. I think I can do it :^> I also have official permission to adopt her SRG and I have asked Mama Liz to puh~lease set it up for me on the sidebar with easy to understand instructions on updating. I think the easy to understand instructions on updating are holding her up a bit. Either that or her knee. The other goal involves a picture:

I have actually been working on this goal for the past month….namely to downsize the coned yarn stash{CYS.} The top down ala Walker, Stonington Shawl ala EZ, and the Shetland Tea Shawl from GOL all share the common characteristic of being worked from CYS. I took the picture while I was working on Pretty in Pink last month. I also took a few minutes to weigh my CYS on my bathroom scale{which made me out to be fatter than I was when I was preggers 2 yrs ago and hasn’t been recalibrated} and the box didn’t begin fit on the surface. The total with box and cones was 48LBS. If Liz does manage to set up the handy dandy SRG area I will weigh the FO’s on a postal scale so we can have an accurate tally at end of year. I am also harrassing her to change my gallary thumbnails into 2004 and 2005 FO’s instead of Me, Work and Other gallaries. I am a demanding friend. Anyway stay tuned for exciting SRG and CYS reports!
