As much as I love big projects and complicated knits, I also need to have a constant stream of mini projects on the go. Something a little more exciting than a dish cloth (although I did just CO one of those for mom's stocking this Yule).
Currently I'm using up some mini handspun skeins to make hexagons like this:

lace weight. |
Also using some fingering weight ends for squares. One day I'll have a blankie. So I suppose that makes two "big" projects, but it feels a lot more like mini projects. Actually, it feels like "using whatever odds and ends I have on hand while the majority of my stash is in storage".
I desperately need a house of my own. (No, not simply to store my stash. Just to unpack it.) Otherwise I may have to visit a LYS soon. I neeeeeeeed fingering weight yarn.
I've also cast on a few adorable little elephant toys in Koigu orphans for the kids. More Yule gifts.
ETA a few more mini pics
