In order to finish the sweater I'm working on, I need to weave some yarn through the chains on the bodice so it's not so peekaboo. The yarn I chose is a brushed mohair, but it's really thin so I have to double it. So, I need to unwind the entire 98-yard ball, fold it in half, and rewind it so I can weave in one very long spiral instead of needing to cut-and-join every row. Hopefully a doubled yarn will be enough, and I won't have to triple it.
I'm not sure what I'm going to make next; maybe I'll go back and work some more on the partial-afghans that are sitting in boxes in the basement. They're made from blocks, though, and I really hate seaming blocks together and weaving in ends. I have one small afghan-in-progress that lives at J's house while I'm working on it, and it's tedious enough at this point that I'm not sure I want to work on another one at my house.
At some point, I should inventory all the yarn I have left, and make a list that I can print and tape to the box instead of always needing to go back in and say "Hmm, do I have enough of this?" I still won't have enough, but it'll make me feel better about what I do have.
