Stash Bash

By on June 28, 2012 in Knits and Crochet, Stash Bash

I’ve never met a crafter without a stash of some kind. This year my goal is to use up all the craft supplies I have spent money on that are taking up mental and physical space in my life.  Join me here every Thursday for a Stash Bash. 


This week is going by like a flash.  I am packing up for a week in Miami Beach.  There is so much to do and plan and my girls need me to get sewing.  I have a few vintage bed sheets and pillow cases to turn into beachy summer dresses and some projects for me as well.  


Now, I have a confession to make.  I bought yarn!!!  Yes I did!  I fell in love with this knitted swim suit  from Petite Purls for Livie.  I was hoping to have it done by our trip next week but I ordered two colors that I was missing to make it and the wrong colored yarn showed up. I am now waiting for two balls of Cascade Fixation in Ecru so I can get started.  I hope to have it done by end of summer.


Here is a picture of it from the Petite Purls site.


So what have you been up to? I love to see what you come up with. I have added the Mr Linky to the bottom of this post for you to link up your Stash Bash projects.

Here’s what to do. There are no rules. 
Just use what you have and try to not buy new supplies, unless you need it to complete a project that you are making from stuff you already have in your stash. 
Take a picture of your project or progress and blog about it or post a picture to flickr.
Then come back here on Thursdays and post a link to your post.
Don’t forget to link back to the Stash Bash so others can find us and get encouraged too.
Fair enough?     

P.S.  Its so nice to hear from other stash bashers so if you visit some of the links don’t forget to leave them a quick little comment.

Stash Bash

I’ve never met a crafter without a stash of some kind. This year my goal is to use up all the craft supplies I have spent money on that are taking up mental and physical space in my life.  Join me here every Thursday for a Stash Bash.

Belly update:  I am starting to feel better from the pulled stomach muscle.  I am able to get up and down easier now and if I just hold onto my belly, leaning forward is going easier now so I hope to be able to get at least a little weeding done this weekend in the garden.  With all the rain here, it has turned into a jungle over there.  It makes me so sad to think of my hard work covered by weeds but I remind myself that creating a human being is more important work than the garden.

I am knitting up lots of ideas but trying to get them all accomplished before moving onto the next one which is my normal m.o.  I usually dream up 30 projects and then start them all and finish a few.  Today I am working on a kimono for the baby bean now that I finished that sleepy soaker sack.  If you missed it yesterday, you can see it here.

I love this wool yarn.  I have no idea where it came from or who is the maker but I remember snatching up a few balls of it years ago because it was 100% wool and butter soft.  Not knowing if it is super wash I am using it make clothing instead of another soaker.


I am making the Nature Baby Kimono and hopefully won’t hit any snags.  I still feel very shaky when it comes to knitting garments but this is an easy pattern so I hope to not get stuck.
