The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things.
Oh, bugger that, thought Jorth. The time has come for me to make a list, as I have too many projects stashed away, and they are threatening to overwhelm me!
So, inspired by both Nic and Suzy, I present to you the official Jorth Crafting List of Autumn 2011, based on what is in my stash. I'm also going to follow Nic's lead and put myself onto a strict stash diet. No more purchases until the backlog has been cleared!

Eek! There is a list longer than my arm of other things I want to make, particuarly in the knitting department, but I must be good. I'm sick of looking at stash. The worst part is, that's only the winter stash I'm tackling. There's a whole pile of summer weight fabrics that are also hidden away...
Cripes. I'm not just ready to commit to a list yet. But I know it's inevitable. I also know that the length of your list is going to look barely millimetres long once I 'fess up to my WIP sins.
ReplyDeleteYou're inspirational. And smart for choosing winter clothes first!
ReplyDeleteI count 11 leotards and a billion pieces of clothing it's now too late in the season to wear.
Lucky for me I've got limited Easter plans!
Oh I hear you! I keep a tight rein on the knitting to-do list but I'm too scared to write down the sewing list!
ReplyDeleteYour brave listing them all for public viewing. Good luck - can't wait to see the finished items. Hmm - a list, I'll think about it.
ReplyDeleteYou need a sewcation! The list might seem long but I think you're on to something - just think of the gorgeous items you'll have once you've finished. And crossing things off a list feels great :)
ReplyDeleteWe'll keep each other on track!
ReplyDeletei think i've waxed eloquent on my love of lists, but this particular sort of list is hairy and scary. my stash would EAT ME ALIVE, i tell you! you are a fearless lass, jorthy.
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten that we're from different parts of the world. I was confused with all the "autumn talk" lol.
ReplyDeleteNice article, thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteI need to do some serious stash busting too!
