Taking Stock, Part 2

This is what I have for large projects:

10 skeins of Berocco Vintage in purple. This is for Alice Starmore's Inishmore and is next in the queue.


 20 skeins of Rowan Silk Wool DK in scallop. I think I'll use this for a modified version of Jade Starmore's Sand Dollar.
 

14 skeins of Rowan Wool Cotton in deepest olive. I love this color and wish I had more of it. I've being playing around with swatches and ideas for a lace pullover and should have enough for that.


7 skeins of Sheep Shop Yarn Company Sheep 3 yarn in teal. I bought this for Alice Starmore's St Brigid. I've already knit it but I used crap yarn and didn't have quite enough so I had to make the sleeves a little shorter than I wanted. I hope this isn't too heavy for an Aran as I have no "plan B" for this yarn.

13.5 skeins of Rowan Extra Fine Merino DK in myrtle, which is a reddish purple. I think I'll use this for Alice  Starmore's Norfolk.

20 skeins of Garnstudio DROPS Camilia Superwash in ivory and 8 skeins in aqua. That's enough for two sweaters, one stranded and one textured. Maybe something by Alice or Jade Starmore. I hardly ever knit their patterns.


3 cones of Frangipani 5-ply guernsey in cedar. I bought this for Alice Starmore's Stornoway. Apparently I really liked this color at some point but now I wish I'd gotten it in navy blue. I'm going to try to sell or trade it but I'll use it for Stornoway if I can't.
22 skeins of Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift in assorted colors. I bought this for Autumn Rose by Eunny Jang but then I remembered that I'm only allowed to knit patterns by Alice or Jade Starmore. Or maybe I realized that I don't really like Jamieson's and there's no way I can wear it next to the skin so I'm going to try and sell it as a kit.

9 skeins of Jamieson & Smith 1-ply cobweb in white. One of these days, I'm going to knit some Shetland Lace. Evidently I planned on knitting a lot of Shetland lace because 9 skeins is 3420 yards.

12 skeins of Alice Starmore Hebridean 3-ply in Selkie. I bought this for the pattern Strathspey, which  I don't have any interest in knitting but there isn't enough to knit any other patterns that do interest me so I'm going to try to sell it.
