Stash Report

I washed and ironed over 24.25 yards of fabric I inherited from my SIL.  That's not counting the many, many pieces that were smaller than 1/8 of a yard.  I'm almost finished sorting through her stash.  Her tastes were very different than mine, but I'm sure I'll find a use for all of it. 

I knit every day this past week.  I knit a pair of slippers and sewed a vest for a leprechaun.  I didn't take photos and neither took much yarn/material.  (American Girl size - 18 inch doll).  I donated 4.5 yards to Value Village.

Fabric Used This Week:  4.5 yards (donated)
Fabric Used Year to Date: 4.5 yards
Fabric Added This Week: 24.25 yards
Fabric Added Year to Date: 77 yards
Net Fabric for 2017: + 72.5 yards

Estimated yardage on hand:  387.72 yards  (Started 2018 with 315.22 yards)

I count fabric IN when it's washed, ironed and added to the stash cupboard.  I count fabric OUT when I finish a top, back and/or binding.

Stash Report

No new or inherited/found fabric this week.  I stitched EVERY day.  I finished my fourth shawl of the year.  (None are blocked yet.)  However, I also sewed yesterday and today.  I was determined to finish at least two blocks for my POD, and I did!  Yahoo! 

The crystal ball was  already finished so I just added the books on either side.  Total time to make this block - 1 hour, 55 minutes.

Finished Crystal Ball block

Quirrell's turban was a major challenge for me, but it should have been.  A simple mistake, followed by a totally silly error made while trying to fix the first mistake wasted 80 minutes of sewing.  Total time to make this block - 3 hours, 20 minutes.  (I include all of the sewing time, even the errors.  I don't include the time spent choosing fabric.  That would scare me!  Indecision, indecision...)
