I love these videos where creators go through their WIPs and stash! I find it so interesting and also love to them see if you make any progress or finish what you have found ❤

I'm so glad! Thank you! I have already finished the blue lovenote, so hopefully on track for getting a couple of things done this month. Hopefully get those sock’s completed as they are quite quick to finish x x

I couldn’t stop laughing at all your yarn and told hubby to come and watch. He thinks I’ve got a lot - he doesn’t now 😂😂😂. So thank you Ellie ❤❤

When you do get round to writing up the Opal mitten pattern, I'll be ready. I managed to snap up a great colorway from you, back in the day. For the record, I'm feeling better about my "wip parade." Thanks, Ellie!

Couldn't agree more, I have about two supermarket shopping bags, maybe little more, but my husband always says I have loads of wool and to just use it up, he doesn't understand what project I may be working on, that comes from a man that has no hobbies,interests whatsoever, not even sports, nothing!

Thank you Ellie making me feel better about my yarn stash minis & nuggets of leftovers & WIPS in bags🧶 ( not nearly so much ) The surprise in project bag finds is needles & notions ( why did I buy another set of a certain size ) when I could have found some 😱😳😂🤣 Loving the colour scheme of new blanket 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@heathertucker7056 4 ай бұрын

I really enjoyed you showing us all your leftovers! I wish I had the problem of too much wool Ellie! I recently had to buy some scraps to finish a project as I didn’t have enough 🤣 I think your new crochet blanket will look lovely in the aqua tones! Young Jensen is just adorable! Take care x

What an impressive array of "leftovers" stash! Love the green/turquoise blanket. It's exciting to find forgotten projects! This was a really fun episode. Have marked my calendar for advent; those colors are right up my alley! That ball run is very cool and Jensen is such a doll. His smile and wave and little bye-bye just melts my ❤️.

It’s funny to think of Robins in relation to Christmas. I live in Wisconsin, US and robins leave us in the autumn and don’t return until spring. We associate the variety of robin that we see with spring!

I thoroughly enjoyed your journey through leftovers, minis, and wips! Thank you so much for sharing. I tend to store my leftovers in large bags according to the number of grams ( 20 grams). So far that sort has worked well for me. A color sort might be helpful as well . .. . Until next week. Salam wa sa’aadah

@sharonkeller7397 4 ай бұрын

What a great bye, bye from Jensen! I don't feel so bad with the amount of wips I have Ellie lol! I have no idea what mine would look like if I put them all together haha. This was a fun video looking at everything on the go and your leftover yarns. x😊x

Oh I got quite excited at seeing all your mini mini’s! I’m quite new to sock and using 4ply so live hardly any. I’ve recently finished a scrappy granny blanket using up all my DK acrylic scraps and it was so satisfying. I’d definitely claim your small ones and make a Frankenballie and then just set to it! 😄

Where do I start? There is so much in this video. I love it all. I love a good nosey into other people's yarn stash but gosh you've got SO much!!! I thought I had a lot. You've definitely inspired me to sort and I think I might start the Battenburgh blanket. It looks a good way to use up stash. Jensen's "bye" gets me every time. He is so cute!!!

@GagaKnits 4 ай бұрын

Well done for having a good sort out. I did my yarn and fabric recently and it's exhausting. I'm trying very hard to have a no buy craft supplies year in order to use my stash with the exception of a few purchases from Wonderwool next month. I have signed up to your newsletter so as to be notified of when your yarn advents become available. Although I will have to pay for it soon I won't be using it until December so I don't consider that breaking my no buy rule. I plan to make the Rain or Shine Blanket by Stephen West and think an advent would be perfect for that. I've not made a West Knits pattern before and I've not purchased a yarn advent before either, so two new experiences for me. When Harry was little I made him a car garage out of toilet rolls. Each toilet roll held a car. He loved it and I enjoyed making it, of course. Maybe an idea for Adam's next cardboard adventure. 😊

"I do love a blue." Really? You do?! 😂 I love when people share videos like this. Thank you for taking us along. And the ball run made of the cardboard is genius! I wish we'd thought of that when ours were little. The slow shuffle through the blocks took me back to those days. 💜 Have a good weekend!

@estherrubin867 4 ай бұрын

Hope you don’t mind that you gave me a good laugh as I watched you sorting all of your leftovers and then finding hidden treasures in your project bags! Ellie…..you are not alone! We all do this 😂. I have a pile up of project bags filled with past, current, and future projects that I have to sort through because the bin is spilling over with all those projects. I have another bin with purchased yarn yet to be stored in my large bins. I had better get to work!! Jensen is so adorable and he’s learning so much about building from Adam. When he said bye-bye, his little voice just melted my heart. So happy for all of you.

Hi Ellie, I just found your channel and it's sooo great! I may not have exactly the same mountains of yarn that you do, but I'm approaching the point where it's beginning to be a bit overwhelming. So I've just started my project stash bust . You gave me some good ideas in this video, really appreciate it 😊 Greetings from the Aeolian Islands

@judithbuist164 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for confessing to how much scrap yarn you have stashed away. You must not feel guilty otherwise I will have to as well because I could run rings around you when it comes to quantity. The quicker I crochet and knit blankets folk give me more scraps. My local nursing homes love the blankets. You are so productive I have no doubt you'll conquer that stash. Thanks for the joy you bring me. Happy crafting. Judy Nelson Bay, (North of Sydney) Australia

I usually sort my yarn in type but watching this video I think I will have more success if I sort it in colour and then projects, I have been joining all my little scrappy bits and colours I'm not in love with and making a corner to corner blanket. With the inspiration and ideas from crafty people like yourself I will find a way to organise myself so I can actually get stuck in to making things. Thankyou 😊

Sorry to hear that! It is hard to find the space to store these your stash isn’t it! I got very good at squirrelling things away when we used to live in a one bedroom house. I don’t know how I stores it all. So grateful to have my own craft room x x

@lavendercottagefibrearts 4 ай бұрын

my stash is a complete shambles at the moment but I keep telling myself that if I keep on knitting, it will eventually get more organised as I use it up, rather than actually having to organise it. so far it hasn't really worked lol. i like your idea to sort scraps into colour families. i think I would like to make some monochromatic scrappy projects, like choose a colour palette and combine a lot of yarns that tie in with it rather than totally random scraps.

@crafthousemagic 4 ай бұрын

Thank you! I do like scrappy projects to have some sort of colour theme or scheme. I really did enjoy organising mine, it is so nice to see all the similar colours grouped x x

@lorrainekrahn4498 4 ай бұрын

I desperately need to organize my yarn ( expecting new yarns in the mail) and use up some of the small bits. I must be on a yarn diet until some of that gets all used up. I’m thinking a triangular blanket like the one on your blog today.

@crafthousemagic 4 ай бұрын

I feel so much better now it is organised. I think crochet blankets take up so much yarn they can use up lots of scraps quickly. So these babies will be used in no time. That is what I am telling myself anyway 😂 x x
