A few weeks ago, which was early December, I came up with three possible fibre resolutions to choose from and do until New Year's Day. Option 1 was to finish up or toss out old works-in-progress. Option 2 was to start and finish as many easy projects from stashed yarn as possible. Option 3 was to start and finish projects for myself.
What I wound up doing was some of Option 1 and some of Option 2. I finally called an end to the two sweater projects that had been stalled for years. I got rid of their yarn too as it was no longer my taste. I also knitted a couple of hats for gifts using an old familiar pattern. One of the hats was actually Option 4 because I bought yarn for it instead of using yarn on hand.
I ended the year having used as much yarn as I'd bought over the course of the year.
