I don't know whether it's an early midlife crisis, a fit of
FLYing, or the Israeli settler's version of the American middle-class woman's fear of ending up a bag lady (i.e., ending up in a
charavilla), but I've been trying to downsize. Get rid of things I don't love and won't use, books that don't interest me, VHS tapes I have on DVD or electronic files, turning stash into knitting. January was a productive month. I'm down 22 VHS tapes, 40 books (yes, I do read fast), and 13 skeins of yarn (after the one skein which was bought to finish these):
The four skeins of yarn it took to knit these knee socks aren't amongst the 13 in the count; until I knit the final stitch possible out of a yarn, it doesn't count as done, and I have about 40 grams left. Anyone have any ideas on what to do with such a small but substantial amount? If it were food I'd feed it to the cat, but I doubt she likes Strumpfwolle 6 fach.

You're doing it right. Must rid ourselves of clutter. I have to start, too!
Mitts? Ala' Fetching or one of it's relations?
Love the socks. I agree on the clutter. Thanks for your comment. I hope to get into see a DR next week.
love the socks!
not sure what you can do with the left overs...sorry that wasn't much help!
Someone was working on an afghan of sock yarn. The Yarn Harlot announced it and the afghan-maker was buried under bits of other people's leftovers. You could have a scrap afghan going of all the left-overs. Double the sock yarn. I tend to under buy sock yarn and don't have any left, but shorter socks. I am also a woman of a certain age, eager to get rid of the stuff. Loads to Goodwill (or you could accumulate your bits and give them away - I used to buy bags of yarn).
Four Skeins!!! WOW!!!
