My Top 10 Stash Busting Patterns!
Every knitter I know has a stash.
Mine is filled with beautiful skeins I couldn't resist getting, leftovers from favorite projects, and yarn I've been saving for just the right pattern.
And that got me thinking, what if you already own the yarn for your next favorite project?
In this week's YouTube video, I'm sharing my 10 favorite stash-busting patterns that are perfect for those one off skeins and all the little bits and bobs of left over yarns. You’ll find pattern ideas is both our Knit Collage yarns and patterns that call for different yarns. My hope is that you’ll see your stash as an invitation to play, experiment, and create something that just feels like you:
