5K - I may not be ready

The KnitGirllls Stach Dash has been going on and I really haven't knitted much. So far I have finished a Holden shawlette out of some pretty
York Boutique Mohair-Kid mohair. I used 2 balls that were 100m each, so that gives me 218.7 yards. I finished it with less than a foot of yarn, talk about close.











Then I finished a pair of Wolkistchens socks out of Regia 4-fach haltbar that has 210 m or 459.3 yards. I have yarn left over, so I need to weight it and figure out the yardage acutally used. (something like 320yds) I don't think I will come anywhere close to the 5K for it to really matter.:(

This was my first After Thought Heel. It was easy to do too. Give it a try. It is a must for self-striping yarn.



My yardage so far: 538.7 yards, so 4,461.3 yards to go! And I have until, what, Aug 6th? Maybe I should spin/knit something that counts as double.

Make yourself happy, knit!
