Yarn diet - one month in

Well, I've made it through a month of the yarn diet. Okay, so there are a couple of things that make it easier. First, if I have to do anything for the magazine Kirstie gives me the yarn for it, so I don't have to rely on my stash for these things. (All unused balls get returned to the office.) Second, I bought some yarn for one particular project, a swap, just before Christmas, so I had knits planned and yarn already bought when 2010 began. The stash hasn't grown, but it's not shrinking much yet.

I should complete socks (Pamela Northrups' awesome Jack Sparrow's Favourite Socks) for a friend at today's knitting group meeting, then I have only a jumper (Evelyn, from Louisa Harding's Gathering Roses collection) on the needles and any new knits will have to be done from stash. Still, there's still a couple of boxes of yarn in the spare room, so February shouldn't be too tough, right?

I've got lots of sock yarn in the boxes, so if you know of a good sock design I'm ready for recommendations.
