Time to dust this off and give it a new go.
I have knit a matching hat, gloves and scarf set with diagonal stripes on them all. I knit a lace shawl and a teddy bear (the bear still is being stitched up). I have started a very lace scarf and a couple of simple scarves for gifts.
Absolutely no spinning has occurred. At this point my spinning wheel is no more than a decorative accent to the living room. My stash of raw fibers sits in a drawer waiting for some attention. I still believe that I will get back to it. In the meantime I try not to look at it too long, I don't want the poor wheel to get it's hopes up too soon.
I have been fairly successful at my stash management. Which is to say that in nine months I have only purchased about 7 skeins, of which three have been knitted and sent out already. Go me!
My last stash check looked a bit like this:
And now I must be off for some hiking, which is very not knitting related.
