90% Knitting's Alphabet KAL: July!

I'm getting ready for the next month in 90% Knitting's Alphabet KAL.

July's letters are G, H, I, J, K, L.

I'm a bit out of knitting mojo at the moment. I've made a decision that will greatly affect my finances next year, and that will force me to put my hobbies on a budget. So far I've just kept track of my spendings in yarn and fiber, but I won't be able to afford that in 2016. I'm very excited about my decision - that I won't share here yet in case co-workers should stumble upon this - but it also puts a pressure on me to finish all the things while I can still afford it!

To push me back into the game for this month I'll try to knit Christmas gifts/birthday gifts that fit into the letters! I might not use them this year, but it'd be nice to have a full gift basket for the next couple years to come.

I better narrow this list down though ...

Stash Dash FO #19

The 19th FO for Stash Dash is my first attempt at backwards longdraw. 

I hand carded the fiber. There's some Norwegian sheep in there, mohair, polwarth and bamboo. 

I got these little clouds to spin from. 

And ended up with this. I'm very pleased with the variation of color in the finished yarn. Backwards longdraw was not as hard as I had imagined. I bought Jacey Boggs Faulkner's "From Worsted to Woolen" Craftsy class. It was worth every cent!

For Stash Dash:

So far I've got 5708,2 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.
