Taking Stock, Part 1

I reviewed all my projects and frogged a few of them. Then I went through all my yarn and ruthlessly sorted it. I donated over half and kept only what I was really excited about using, which left me with:

  1.  21 skeins (or pairs of skeins) for socks. That's more sock yarn than I thought I had. 
  2. A skein of Schaefer Anne and 3 skeins of Heirloom Argyle; about 625 yards or each. That's too much for a pair of socks but probably not enough for two pair of socks. What else do you do with 625 yards of fingering weight yarn?
  3. 1 skein of Lorna's Lace Helen's Lace in Forest (1250 yards), 3 skeins of Misti Alpaca lace in black (1311 yards), 1 1/2 skeins of Alpaca with a twist Fino in Ruby Slippers(about 1300 yards), 1 skein of Misti Alpaca handpaint lace in Blues in the Night (875 yards) and 2 skeins of Wooly West Nordic Lite in Lilac (950 yards). That's less lace weight than I thought I had. 
  4. 4 skeins of Alice Starmore Scottish Fleet in Sea Green. This was for Jade Starmore's Scapa. I like the pattern but I don't like the color. It's too washed out for me.
  5. 2 skeins each of Art Yarns Royal Silk (fingering weight) and DK Merino in the same colorway. This was for scarf. I'm not enthused about the pattern but I don't know what else to do with it. Probably should've put this in the donate pile but I really like the color.
  6. 2 skeins of Lang Jawoll sock magic. Technically it's sock yarn but I bought it for a scarf. 
  7. 1 skein of Sheep Shop Yarn Company Sheep 3 yarn in olive green. I have no idea what I bought it for  but I've got 325 yard, which sounds like socks to me.
