I don't think the first level will be too difficult for you and you probably can use mostly stash yarn for the projects. One thing you may want to think about is you may want to reduce your number of socks to be completed to 5 rather than 7. Here's what I'm thinking if you plan to do more larger projects, like sweaters and shawls that you will have less time to knit socks and it may take you longer to knit those seven than you think. The idea is to use up the yarn we have but not make the task too stressful or we'll start to feel deprived and begin seeking yarn to sooth ourselves. Good Luck!</p> Sounds like a plan, I’ve been wanting to do the master knitter program as well, I don’t think this will be the year for me.

I need to do the same (set goals). Always good to have goals as long as you don't get upset that you (I!) don't meet them. My only goal, right now, is to finish one UFO a month. Shouldn't be hard with all the half finished socks I have going!</p> Good for you! Ugh! I need to do the same (set goals).

Like you, stashbusting was a goal, like you, I increased more than I used. But a couple of those kals look good... will have to investigate! I didn't tally up all the yardage I accumulated when lys closed, but it was 47000 yds prior to opening three 30 gallon bags. Hmmmmm....</p> After doing such a terrible job meeting last years’ goals, I decided not to make any this! Like you, stashbusting was a goal, like you, I increased more than I used.
