self-imposed sock club!
I decided this year that I'll knit at least 6 pairs of socks; one pair every other month, in addition to my other knitting and designing. One sock a month; that's not too difficult, right? Right! Time to get organized! While noone was home, (important because as a fiber artist I can't reveal the actual amount of yarn in my stash... also important because non-fiber people don't understand and I have to begin dispensing anti-anxiety medication!), I hauled out my ENTIRE yarn stash, and all the patterns of socks that I have been intending to make... After I selected patterns (I chose 7 so that there's one extra just in case something goes awry) I went through my sock yarns and matched fiber to pattern and bagged each project up in 1 gallon ziplock baggies. These are stored in a plastic storage tub and are all ready to be cast on! In Ravelry, I spent some time queuing each of the projects up, and attaching the yarns to each of the projects.

Hopefully this is inspiring for you and it helps you to create a self-imposed club of your own! Make a club with sweater patterns... scarves... hats... mittens... whatever you are obsessed with for 2011. Create some order in your craft and help yourself justify the ginormous quantity of fiber and goodness that is surely sitting ready to go in your own stash!
Happy Knitting!
