In January, I finished a couple of knitting projects
Cranford mitts for a former colleague
Snapdragon Tam for me
A Shawl in Old Maiden Aunt Merino Cashmere nylon 4ply in the colour Dreich
And finally a case for my Ipod touch to use the yarn left over from my hat
All in all, that meant I used 595 metres of yarn. The only yarn that has arrived in my house this month is my first Knit love club parcel which contained Alchemy Juniper sock yarn. 424 metres of lovely soft golden orangey yarn. So I end up the first month with 169 less metres of yarn. Fairly good for the first month, I think. Hopefully I can keep this up during the year.
All these knitted things have come in handy recently as the weather hasn't been the best this winter. The long cold snap in December has been followed by yet more cold weather in January and its has been snowing today again. I am so ready for Spring now.

Paula, everything looks wonderful! I like your idea of tracking everything in metres - good luck with your stash reduction.
Yeah for finishes! That shawl is gorgeous! It almost makes me want to take up knitting again.
And I don't remember if I posted earlier but congrats on the new job. No more nights is a guarenteed stress-reducer.
They all look great, congratulations
I love the Cranford mitts!!! The colors are beautiful together.
Who ever would have thought of a wool colour called "dreich" :) Not many folk down here in Dorset understand it, but I still use the word a lot. Nice knits.
