Wow! I fully expected to be in the red. While I have apparently not abandoned my financial boundaries, I have pretty much chucked the idea of starting all projects from stash. I do need to do more with the stash, though. I have easily four or five sweater projects lined up for myself, and they should all be a delight. Aside from the Sea Colors yarn, I've avoided obtaining yarn for more sweaters for me.
Good job!
I so love the concept of this.

Great job there! I'm thinking I'm going to need a system like yours soon, although I'm afraid I'll be horrible at it.

Excellent job! I agree, it is difficult to just dip in the stash for all projects. Sometimes what works best for what you want to do just isn't there.

I'm looking forward to seeing the sweater you will be making with the Zephyr & Iro. I mean, I *know* which sweater it is supposed to be, I am just eager to see the finished product!
