Inventory woes

My first attempt at taking inventory of my handspun left me feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. The shelf I chose to start with contained a lot of my early spinning, kindly described as "art yarn", and I couldn't decide what to do with it. It will probably go into a bag for now while I continue with the rest.

My idea of choosing yarn first, then a pattern, is not working out very well, either. Some of the handspun still feels too precious to use. I need to learn to "kill my darlings".

Dyeing: Still working through documenting my efforts; wish I had kept better notes.
Knitting: Finished the bathroom rug; separate post to follow. My SO's socks are coming along. And I purchased some DK sock yarn from Simply Socks for my son's socks.
Spinning: Plied more of the Romney.

On a brighter note, the recent program for the spinning guild provided a hands-on opportunity to use a blending board and create rolags. I was aiming for koi colors, but they look more like bees.

I sold my blending board to a fiber friend a while ago, and for a moment that night regretted it. But I have a small drum carder and some hand cards, so I'm not totally bereft or without tools. The spinning guild has a spinning wheel we rent to beginners; perhaps someone would donate a blending board for the same purpose.
