Oh I am so excited to get going with this Stash Bash. In case you missed it, I am hosting a Stash Bash to encourage all of us (I’ve never met a crafter without a stash of some kind) to use up all the craft items we have already spent money on and are taking up mental and physical space in our lives.
Here is what I wrote about it last week and a picture of one of the cabinets where I keep a little part of my stash.
So if you are in come back here every Thursday and I will be posting how I am bashing my stash and you can link up to your stash bashing on your own blog or Flickr picture. I can’t wait to see what you are all doing so put it on your calendar. My goal is to use the cabinets and cabinets of fabric and 6 bins of yarn along with lots of my crafty stash in 2012.
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?
This week I am yarning along again with Ginny from Small Things. I have been working on a knitted football hat for my football loving son and a new hat for Livie but have no pictures yet. I have been reading seed catalogs at night in bed, which get too excited for spring and then I can’t seem to fall asleep. To me, that counts as good reading lol.
To stick to my goal of using up what I have I remembered this wool sweater I took apart to frog someday into yarn. I got out my seam ripper and scissors and ended up with 2 very large and 2 smaller balls of 100% wool yarn. This yarn is a teenie bit scratchy so I will wash it and see what comes of it. It is a sock weight yarn so I am planning to turn it into a few pairs of felted house slippers for my kids.
Perhaps next time I frog a sweater I will post a tutorial so you too can frog and harvest yarn from a sweater you no longer need. This time I just seized the moment and got it done before procrastination creeped up on me.
