Despite the fact that I've just finished a pair of socks, the yardage meter isn't moving as fast as I'd want it to. In that vein, I think I'm going to accept the fact that this will be a low yardage month and be done with it.
Onto more knitting!!!

Total time!
Well, the month is over and I can safely say that I DID NOT purchase any yarn, whatsoever.
I was gifted a ball of Opal but thats a gift and doesn't count.
So the total so far stands at 1236yards of yarn used in January. I don't know if this is good or not, but I'll take it. (even though it was less than December's total of 1581 yards which was 0.9 miles) Naturally I couldn't bring myself to refinish the rib on the jumper last night, so what would have been more yards will be carried over to today once I finish reseaming the thing. I hate reknits :(
So here we go:
Used 391g
Yards 1236
Bought 0g
Gifted to me 100g
Mileage 0.7 miles.

Total time!
There's going to a LOT of totals this time round, mainly to take in the end of the month as well as the end of the year.
December:
Bought 0g, zero, zilch, nada!!!
Used 1,095g
Completed 6
I thought that was quite an achievement for December and totalled 0.9 miles. As I flicked through my diary/knitting book, I discovered that the amount I knitted this month isn't the largest total I had... August was 1500g ( thats what happens when you're on holiday you see, lol)
Anyway, the YEAR's total:
Bought 10,714g
Used 10,692g
Completed 56
There's a difference there of 22g... 22 measley grams. If I had just made the cuffs on my last pair of socks longer I would have used that 22g. But what's done is done.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased that I haven't significantly added to the stash. Effectively, I've used what I bought and my plan for 2009 is to have bought next to nothing and knitted the same weight or more.

Ahead of the game!!
This week (and its only Tuesday) I have managed to finish knitting all 3 work people presents... and managed to use half a mile of yarn in the process... I love the knitmeter you know. The yardage I knitted is a quick walk for my dog!!
So tomorrow I'm taking another present with me to start. I think I'm on target but we'll see how we get on tomorrow!
