Tour de Fleece Wrap up by guest blogger Annie

So the Tour de Fleece ended on Sunday and it took me until yesterday to realize that while I had lots of fun spinning for 3 weeks straight I totally screwed up my destash plan for the year. All year long I've been trying to knit only from the stash, buy very little yarn, and gift  yarn that I knew I wouldn't knit. It was going pretty well and by June I had knit about 22,000 yards from the stash. Then TdF comes along and I spun for three weeks every minute that I wasn't at work or a knitting event. I nearly spun up all the fiber in my stash and even though I didn't reach my goal I was content. Last night I was putting it all together and I thought I should add up the total yardage spun to include with the total weight. That's when it hit me.....I would have to add that yardage to the stash and undo some of the destashing work I'd done all year ----urgh. Now I'm thinking that maybe everyone I know really wants some handspun yarn for their birthdays and Christmas.....even the non knitters.
