Today was a day of chores. I had the oil changed in my car and got a much needed car wash. My aunt Nancy came over and she helped me clean up my basement. We put away the xmas stuff, moved in a desk and took a ton of boxes out of the basement to the garage where I will be taking them to the recycling. In return, I gave her a few bags and suitcases that I didn’t need anymore. Also, I gave her enough yarn to fill one of the big suitcases along with a few bags. It is all yarn that I will never knit with. Yarn that I loved at the time but no longer desire.

So thinking on that. I have been wondering about my stash and unfinished projects. When exactly do you consider the project to be an unfinished one? There is a knit along (i can’t remember the link) where everyone is to finish one ufo a month to have 12 finished projects at the end of the year. Here is my thinking. Isn’t purchasing the yarn for a project technically starting the project? If you purchase the said yarn for a specific project and then put it away it is stash but isn’t it also a UFO because you have put it away and are not knitting it.

If this is the case, then I could start many sweaters, socks and shawls from my stash as I have purchased yarn with the intent to knit specific projects. So do I consider those UFO’s. I just don’t know. But it really is a point to ponder for me.
