Didn't quite use up the second big ball of yarn, so I will put it away and find another use for it later.

I pulled a white yarn out and will start the white strips today. I am hoping to be able to sew these strips together by the weekend or beginning of next week. Leaves me a bit of time to perhaps knit some woolen mittens for the DS's in the evenings, and sew Hubby his pj bottoms during the day. I may even get to cut out and sew a new dress to wear for Christmas Day.

Pulled out the dark grey yarn for the first pair of mittens. The way I am using it up on the first mitt, I hope there is enough for a second one.

I plan on using up the lighter grey next. That will take care of even more of my stash.

I used up 4 smallish balls of dark grey wool yarn making the first pair of mitts. Still have three left.

Pulled out the lighter grey and will work on hopefully using up some of these smallish balls of wool yarn on the second pair of mitts.

This yarn was given to me free of charge by someone who did not know what to do with it. She also gave me bags of Siwash yarn (more difficult to knit with as it is more of a roving and needs to be tightly twisted as one knits).

Really working on getting the stash knitted down this coming year.

Well used up about the same amount of light grey yarn on the second set of mitts. I have now started the third set of mitts and plan on using the dark grey for the cuffs and the lighter grey for the rest of the mitt. This should use up most of the if not all of the dark grey, and most of the lighter.

I have used up 2 partial balls of dark gray yarn making the cuffs of this third pair of mitts. I have also used up a partial ball of light grey and almost finished another full ball of the lighter colour. Slowly but surely using up what I have. I know there will be a few balls of the grey colours left so after I make a pair for me out of the cream colour yarn, I will figure out something to make using all three colours.
