My attempt to get my stash under control is going pretty slowly due work and other distractions. So far I have unraveled several partial sweaters, several half socks, and at least two forays into lace shawls. One of the sweaters that I disassembled was in this nifty fish pattern. I made up the pattern a long time ago and have used it in several (completed) projects. A partial hat was unraveled to release this lovely skein of orange handspun (it is much brighter in person).
Two of the projects that made the cut and moved to the head of the knitting line are a pair of blue/purple socks out of commercial superwash wool, and a bag made out of wool I dyed with kool-aid and spun a long time ago on a drop spindle. The bag is on size 1 needles (what was I thinking?!). As you can see, I need to spin up some more. If you look close, you can see that I knitted a sort-of faux smocking pattern in a band around the bag.

The hat definitely has my vote as a keeper, though it might clash with Lorax.
The bag is definitely awesome and great colors too, but the size 1s?!
