Project Spectrum 2.0

is about to start in February. I have decided to knit up a lot of my stash this year, (really as much as I can) so this project is going to help me out somewhat. I was going to join in with Knit From Your Stash too, but I had already purchased some yarn this year, so I thought I would just incorporate the two projects together unofficially. I have signed up for Project Spectrum and there are already over 600 participants.
  • February/March is blue, gray and white.
  • April/May is green, yellow and pink.
  • June/July is red, black and metallics.
  • August/September is brown, orange and purple.

I am thinking that the best way to approach this is to type up a number of projects to reduce the stash color of the 2 month period, and decide what to make. I will post my upcoming projects for February/March soon, and since I have all those colors in the stash this should be an easy process. Now just deciding what to knit will be the biggest part and trying to complete them in 2 months, so maybe the Tweed Aran Cardi will not be put through the Feb/March section. I will keep that aside as an all year project I think since then I will not have any pressure to finish it up in a certain time frame and stress out from it. I am going to try and finish up both of my nephew's jackets in January, and since they are both the same pattern, just different sizes it should not take too long. I have already finished the back of the orange one, andI have nearly finished the back of the gray one too. I am hoping that they turn out nicely too, and that I do not run out of yarn, or otherwise there will be another trip to the yarn shop that I really do not need to make. This should be a fun period of knitting for the next 8 months, so happy knitting everybody.

I signed up, too. Really looking forward to it. Good luck with the knit through stash thing.

I'm joining this too. I usually knit in black, grey, white or pretty plain colors so this should kick me into thinking about other colors!
