Stashed for blast off!

Happy New Year! Did you make resolutions? I'm working to set better goals this year. And even though it might be early, I've already got that "spring cleaning" bug. Or maybe it's just my love of organization. In any case, I decided to catalog my entire stash of yarn into Ravelry this holiday! 
Turns out, there is still a LOT of purple yarn in there! LOL. It IS my favorite color after all. But it felt good to revisit my whole stash, and now having it in digital form, I won't have to worry about inputting all those yarn details when I start new projects, I can just use from stash! 
This was actually a good follow on to the project I did last year where I reorganized my entire stash by yarn weight. I used to have it organized by color (yes, most of the bins held purple yarn, and there was a bin with all my orange and yellow together because I have so little of that!). But it was hard to know what I had and what weight things were when I wanted to start a project. I am very pleased with the result! 
In addition to this organizing project, I also queued up SEVERAL new projects I hope to complete this year. In fact, I have already finished a project that had been sitting in my Ravelry queue for a long time. It took me only about 5 hours to knit. Very excited :) [Here's the cowl I already completed in 2020!]
Other projects I have queued: sweater, several hats, boot toppers, fingerless gloves and spats! 
What projects are you planning? Have you organized your stash? Feel free to leave me some comments and let me know! Cheers!

    I started knitting in 2005, but have been crafting all my life. Knitting quickly became my obsession and I love to keep the needles in my hands as much as possible.
