As usual, before the Australian sheep and wool show, I spent A LOT of time planning. What do I already have in stash, what so I want to knit? What if buy the wrong yarn? What if I buy too much? or too little? (Planning Posts from 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2019, 2021 and 2022 can be found under the links) , I freak out about shopping and spend a lot of time pondering smallish decisions (you should be thankful I've not blogged about the whole shower cap drama!). So, my stash is currently 27 items and 16,256 meters, which seems quite high considering I haven't bought much yarn recently (although I did acquire nearly a kilometre from a destash). The oldest yarn is from January 2021, and I'll be knitting with that this weekend.
I wrote a list of what I think I'll try to plan to buy at Bendigo. Here is the yarn
It feels like a lot, but its just a couple of cardigans, a jumper and a dress. And Leon's Winter Set, of course. I'll either buy it all or not. And then knit what I plan to make out of it, or something else.
Here is the rest of the list:
I hope someone at Bendigo is selling Chiaogoo, otherwise I'll have to put in an order, since I lost a 4mm DPN and recently broke one of my cables.
Anyway, I'll have the company and assistance of various Richmond Knitters - particularly Kris and Katie. We are driving up together and staying together, and I imagine it will be a lot of fun, laughter, kindness and gin.
I'll be back on Sunday with updates from my shopping and friend adventures.
