I bought a skein of red alpacky sock yarn (for the Beekeeper, what else?!). I felt the need for some fuzzy alpacky sexypuffs. And I acquired some red leftovers from Zena and Donna:
Actual balls used: 8.75 x 50g balls
8ply equivalent: 15.5 x 50g balls (yes, lots of 4ply action this month!)
metres used: 1582 (that crochet really does use up the yarn nice and quick!)
Year to date:
Actual balls used: -2 x 50g balls - I really think I have a good chance of coming out stash negative or at the worst, stash neutral this year! How novel!
8ply equivalent: 90.5 x 50g balls
metres used: 10583m
Woo hoo, I cracked the 10,000m mark! That's over 10km of yarn! Go knitting!

wow gorgeous love it - red red red
Good lord. You're a stash busting WIP finishing sexypuff making machine aren't you? Who are you and what have you done with Jane?! I liked the flower arrangement you had going on before with rhe beekeeper, by the way. It was random. but not. Clever.
oh yeah, diagonal! I like that! It looks better than random I think!
I really like all the randomness of this project and the yarn collecting going on to make it happen. It's almost becoming a group project coming together to help you to the finish :)
hehe..stash negative.
I'll believe it when I see it ;)
36 hexipuffs!! You are way ahead of me - I have gotten as far as printing out the pattern!
Stash Neutral isn't even a term I can fathom. But if you can I applaud you! Love the reds.

Lovely red red reds!
Good luck with coming out stash negative. I don't think that has ever happened to me since that first day I picked up the needles. Maybe this year. I might do the sums... when I'm feeling brave!
I can't even fathom doing the sums. I know I don't buy much yarn anymore though--more buying patterns to use it up! Just don't talk to me about art supplies or fabric...
I like the diagonal. It's a pity we can't all fly to Sydney at the end for a big hexapuff arranging party.
Bravo on the stash reduction!! And bravo on getting 36 hexapuffs. But I vote for either chevrons or random arrangement. A diagonal stripe always looks off kilter to me. (Everone is entitled to her own silly-ass opinion, right?)
You have been a busy bee. Good for you!
I would love to knit the hexapuff thing, but somehow I just don't think it is going to happen. I might go insane.
Love all the reds. :)
Love the red puffs so much! I'm all for planned randomness myself - and it's less limiting when you run out of yarn. But the diagonal looks really good too. Can't wait to see what you do!
Well done on the stash-busting - though if I were you I'd be really pining for a stash purchase by now. I like the diagonal lines of variegated and plain hexapuffs - but I think at this stage you should keep an open mind so you can have fun playing with variations as the puffs accumulate.
Stash neutral! What a concept! Love it!
Well done on your 10kms!! (I am almost up to 9)
The stripes are looking great!! I can see why you are addicted!!
ummm - you bought some nice yarn! and it's nice to see how the Beekeeper is coming along. nice contrast with that dark line in the center.
i hate to think how many meters of yarn i have. and also how often i still feel i don't have the perfect yarn for a project.
anyway brave of you to count.
Love those gorgeous variations of red. I have been knitting from my stash too & trying not to buy more yarn.
