In transferring the sweaters from their summer storage boxes to the closet, it occurred to me that maybe I have enough. Six cardigans. Four pullovers. One vest. An eleven day wardrobe right there.
Then I realized I had forgotten to include these latest additions to my fall closet.
I can look at each one and fondly recall the knitting. Even when there were struggles - poorly written patterns, getting the finished to replicate the vision, lace charts that baffled, limping to the finish line in the Olympic challenge - the memories are fond. The feel of quality yarn in the hand, the finished product that fits and flatters and the many, many hours of time well spent.
But I do have to ask myself - is this enough already?

Yep. I reached that point with shawls. Socks are ongoing, because they wear out.
That's when I looked toward charity knitting. Lapghans, and small, light stay-on shoulder shawls for nursing homes and 'shut-ins'. Mitts, hats, scarves for kids. Through church mostly, handed out at food banks, and also taken to schools. So many kids come to school under-dressed for cold weather, and even well-prepared kids still lose (or soak) their 'woolly mittens' regularly.
Oh, and I enjoy making afghans/blankets for us, and for gifts, too.
All that to say, I know what you mean. :)
You have quite a wardrobe there, Brenda!
I also hear ya..I have more slouch beret and scarf sets than I know what to do with other than to leave them in the vacuum storage bags they are in.There are just so many one can wear. I am reluctant to donate to charity ...not a good thing if I don't use them. It is called ADDICTION. t_a
