I’m definitely in stash busting mode. On a break on one of my work from home days this week, I organized my stash, and marked out some projects to use for some of the yarn that’s sat in the stash the longest with no ideas on how to use it. The first item of business […]

Pattern: Piccolo Pyrus by Skeinwalker Knits Yarn: Quince and Co Phoebe in the Mars colorway Needles: Size 6 circs Remember how we’re in a drought? Guess who managed to decide to wet block a cowl on the one rainy weekend we’ve had since June? I had a fan going on this from last Friday through

Pattern: Portland Cap by Mary Pranica Yarn: Quince and Co Osprey in Kumlien’s Gull (probably – this yarn is from a seconds sale) Needles: Size 11 circs and DPNs The stash busting continues. I have some cold weather gear I’ve been gathering for a donation, and since I had no other plans for this yarn,

The Piccolo Pyrus cowl is done. It’ll definitely benefit from some blocking, so this isn’t the final post, but I can at least count the yarn towards my August stash busting totals.

Pattern: Colorful Half and Half Washcloths by Purl Soho Yarn: Knitpicks Lindy Chain in the Harbor, Silver and Mist colorways Needles: Size 4 circs Welcome to my stash busting extravaganza! I got rid of the Silver and Mist yarn entirely, and only have a small amount of Harbor left. I enjoyed this pattern – it’s

In further stash reduction efforts, this is the Piccolo Pyrus cowl, from Skeinwalker knits. I’m using up my Quince and Co Phoebe in the Mars colorway.

Pattern: Trisha by Vicky Chan Yarn: Quince and Co Lark in the Iceland colorway Needles: Size 5 and 8 circs and DPNs The Trisha sweater’s done! I used about the same amount of yarn I’d used for Argus, so I’m at least no worse off then I was before I frogged Argus. This sweater fits

I sold some yarn earlier this week, and while rooting around to find it, was struck by the number of ends I’ve accumulated. So we’re apparently in a stash busting mood again. This is a washcloth/dishcloth, using Purl Soho’s free Colorful Half and Half Washcloths pattern. I’ll definitely be using up as much Knitpicks Lindy

Pattern: Sambucus by Haberkula Justyna Haberkowa Yarn: KDD & Co (Kate Davies Designs) Milarrochy Tweed in Hirst and Gloamin Needles: Size 3 and 4 circs and size 4 DPNs I really enjoyed this pattern. Unfortunately, I got a child sized hat out of it. So it’ll go in my stash – I would have happily

This is the Sambucas hat, which I’m using as a break from the Trisha sweater. I’ve already redone the cast on three times, as I apparently can’t read directions. So that’s been fun. I think I finally got this on track – hopefully third time is the charm.
