After accepting the   I discovered I needed to make some changes to my queue.  There were some errors in available Stash, yardage and weight.  There will probably be more changes but at least this Challenge is keeping me motivated. I've complete 3 projects in 3 weeks. Dangling Conversation is a triangular shawl, paid pattern by Mindy Ross. I used a color changing cotton by WOLLEE's , purchased in 2013 at SAFF .   It's basically 480 yards of 4-ply sewing thread.  It sounds 'splitty' and difficult to knit with but it wasn't. The Cloud of Softness neck gaiter is a free Ravelry download by Marji LaFreniere. It was a late Christmas gift made from one skein of  Bijou Basin Bliss Sport weight 50/50 Yak & Cormo.  It is a really lovely fiber, very soft and very nice to knit with.  The recipient was very happy with it :D The Mini Bunny & Baskets were also a late Christmas gift made from scrap acrylic yarn. They were fun but challenging

I will try to continue to knit down my stash and knit only from my current queue.  I did pretty well on last years Yarn Diet until SAFF .  I managed to hold it to one purchase, a shawl kit, which is an achievement for me.  I've already completed two projects. Go me! Since starting this draft post Ravelry has initiated the 2018 Ravelry Project Challenge .  " You can enter a goal for the year or opt out, which will remove the tab from your view. After you have set your goal the tab is a home for your challenge –  the projects you have completed this year and the ones in your queue with a deadline in the current year stay up to date to track your progress.
