So. Even bi-annual tracking seems to be unnecessary at this point. Going forward in 2025, I will no longer be making stash track posts except at the end of the year—if they’re necessary even then. Anywho. Here it is: 2024 in its entirety. As y’all can see, very little happened here again this quarter. I hit one of KnitPick’s big sales for 2 sweater-quantities, but other than that? Nothing. Nothing went out since my blanket isn’t finished, and just that little bit came in. Nothing serious happened with my yarn stash this year. And zero happened with my fiber stash. Again. Which I do admittedly find mildly depressing. I’m hoping 2025 will bring with it at least one spinning project and use the tiniest bit of that lovely fiber I have up.

There really isn’t much more to say about this topic right now. I continue to be in a state of existing and cocooning. It turns out recovering from cancer treatment is pretty serious business that takes more than a year. I’m hoping to see steady and marked improvements in 2025—including some actual posts for this blog that are not simply tallies for yardage and stash tracking.

Stay safe, keep wearing your masks and cleaning your hands, hydrate, and take care of yourselves. Here’s to a gentle 2025, y’all.

So. I decided with my greatly reduced crafting desire and energy that tracking my stash more than bi-annually makes no sense. So here it is: the first half of 2024. As y’all can see, very little happened here. There was a little stash-shuffling, but not much. I could have counted my finished blanket squares in those numbers to make things more dynamic, I suppose—as I will never reclaim that yarn even if the blanket is never finished—but I’ve opted to save them until the project is finished. One way or another.

There really isn’t much more to say about this topic right now. I’ve just been in a state of…existing for the last 6 months. I’m finally starting to recover some of my energy and desire to actively do things, but I’m still not out of the recovery woods yet and should see marked improvements over the final 6 months of 2024. I’m hoping this translates to more active crafting time as well as increased focus and desire for other hobbies. We’ll see how it goes.

Stay safe, keep wearing your masks and cleaning your hands, hydrate, and take care of yourselves.

Well, that’s a wrap, and the numbers speak for themselves. I did some stashing this year with not as much making because I was down and sick for most of it.

I’m currently deciding if I want to keep tracking in the new year or not. You’ll know when I do.

What about you? How did your 2023 go? Do you have any plans for 2024?

Stay safe, keep wearing your masks and cleaning your hands, hydrate, and take care of yourselves.
