I had promised myself a couple things in 2013. One is that I wasn't going to buy another skein of yarn, unless it was to finish off an existing project. My stash is becoming a bit out of control. I love to crochet, but when your yarn is a focus of stress. You need to so something about it. Right now, I have enough yarn to finish an afghan (that is meant for my hubby) and probably four or five others. I can't stand it any longer. Well, I now found a small support group of sorts. Linda at Linda's Crafty Corner and Ana of lanas de Ana are having a Stash-buster challenge, no prizes, just all out de-yarning. I can't wait to start to rid my life of a few balls of yarn.
But first, as a requirement to join in all the fun, we had to show a bit of our yarn goodness. (or craziness)
I absolutely hated posting this picture. It doesn't look like the pretty little stash button above. It is an controlled mess, that I plan to take care of. This is just a bit of the mess, I couldn't bear to post anymore. I would like to finish a couple of purses and some cute little pouches. We will see what I can get done. Hopefully, at the end of the year, it will be mostly gone and I will be less stressed. Am I the only one stressed about their stash?
You could give me some! Ha ha! Have fun stash busting. I was in the fabric stash busting mode for the past little while, but my sister-in -law is in town and she wants to go to her favorite quilt shops tomorrow. Well, I just have to oblige!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge Amy :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some fun yarns to create with - Enjoy hooking them up.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone, that is for sure. I have piles of yarn and fabric that I need to get through. Good goal to have for 2013! Looking forward to seeing what you do with yours.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great basket full of possibilities, have fun (and no stress!) busting your stash.
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone! My stash is so embarrassing! I also have a friend who contributes to it with all her leftover yarn! My plan for this year is to make granny squares with all the little bits and pieces with a black background. I have one that my great Aunt made me which I treasure. I wish you good luck with yours! Looking forward to seeing some finished projects!!
