On my needles

The other day, a friend catalogued her yarn stash. I started to do mine yesterday but petered out at the point where I had to move to go and find more yarn to catalogue. Today I intended to continue, but got distracted by tidying my knitting basket and instead made a list of my WiPs. It appears I have 39 of them - one technically may not count as it's been ripped back and not yet cast on again, but for the purposes of this update I am including it as a WiP. I know I had a bad attack of startitis a little while ago - I didn't realise quite how bad it had got.

So what am I knitting. Well it appears just over one-quarter of my knitting is cardigans/shrugs/waistcoats etc., followed by jumpers and socks.



However, not all of it is for me.



Obviously, I have plenty to be getting on with.

So feel free to place your guesses - how many items will I finish by the end of January 2012 and how many new items will I have cast on in that time. I'll give a mystery prize (not of great value- don't get your hopes up excessively) to the person with the closest guess (please only guess once for finished and once for new; guesses must be made in the comments to this post by 23:59 GMT on 7 January to prevent people from having any advantage from things I might say about my knitting over the next month).

    I think you'll have 6 items finished. :) or maybe I hope you'll have them done so I can win the mystery prize. :)

    Don't forget to also say if you think I'll start any how many.

    I tried to post from my phone but it had a wee strop. I think 5 finished wips and 3 cast on projects! I covet your pie charts!

    Pie charts created in excel, converted to jpg - very easy. When I finish my yarn stash spreadsheet there may be more charts.

    39? I would be overwhelmed so quickly! My random guess is you'll finish 7 and start 10. Isn't that how it goes? ;)

    I think you will finish 4 and cast on 6.

    Love the pie charts. There aren't enough pie charts in the world of blogging.
