Join me in tackling my stash by using up as any balls of yarn as I can! Will I stay strong and not buy yarn?!! Stay tuned as I expose my stash and use up as much as I can.

It's so nice to see someone that has decided that they have too much yard ACTUALLY doing something actively to reduce that number in such a nice way. Go you!

the game of yarn chicken you played with your blanket was impressive! It really is the best feeling when you get the perfect amount of yarn

@megglymade 4 ай бұрын

also you should use your handspun to make a scrappy open front vest! use larger stitches like a treble crochet to show off the texture of the yarns and can even add a little bow to be able to tie the vest closed.

Thay would be so cute! I think i can see the vision here 🤩 an open vest is a good idea

I've been knitting from stash for almost 1.5 years, and it's completely reasonable that you don't get into the really scrappy projects until you've used up your larger quantities☺️ happy knitting!

I am also spring yarn 🧶 De stashing. My son goes to a special education middle school so whatever I had that was a single skein went to the school last night. I thought I would have 10-15 skeins. I had 78 😮🙄😮‍💨 I can’t believe I had that many. But I’m so glad it went to the kids they have a crochet 🧶 class. The blanket is GORGEOUS 😊

I started knitting for my friends to reduce my stash, I have a lot of novelty yarns and singular balls so I try a lot of mixing and adding texture for all I do :D is fun, my mother was getting mad at me for hoarding so much yarn lol (taking in the fact that I'm mostly allergic to yarn in general)

I hope to see more of these stash project videos! I recently made a sweater from two balls of pink yarn I had left over from a big blanket and I'm making granny squares from a lot of my stashed yarn to eventually make into blankets and sweaters.

@LizArtsNCrafts 4 ай бұрын

I love that you are using up your stash to make qranny squares even without a plan in mind! I could definitely do that with my seemingly bottomless acrylic box. I will have to revisit this video idea with more true scrappy projects! 😊

@MicahRion 4 ай бұрын

With my reading and fiber arts I go back and forth between having rules and not having rules. Usually it's me following my desires for a while, then having too many projects going at once and instituting some gentle rules to focus on those projects for a while to bring down the overwhelm. But I don't find it helpful to have rules all the time, at that point the rules feel arbitrary. They make sense to me when they're short term and have a clear goal.

@LizArtsNCrafts 4 ай бұрын

I think you summarized some of my feelings pretty well! I totally relate to following your desires and then making rules to pair down your active projects. I like to let myself take on a lot of projects (or a lot of yarn with theoretical projects) then need to work to manage it all. 😊

@CasualKnitter 4 ай бұрын

The Vest and the sweater are so pretty, congratulations! I was knitting while watching your video and of course I have 100 plans and way too much yarn but I decided not to stress about it 😊 I do write down how many kg of yarn I use every month and make a total per year out of curiosity not as a rule

Hi Liz, I enjoyed your video and have already started watching another. YT showed me this video because I’m working on stash busting too. Fun, positive inspo really helps me. I have much more yarn to get through, some of it because of a couple of large projects I bought yarn for. I crochet and haven’t learned to knit yet. I appreciate that you show both 👍I also have an Addi, need to use that as well. Just followed you over on IG. Nice job!

@@LizArtsNCrafts you can also check with the oncology centers. Ask them what their specifications are, hospitals are often quite specific both for babies and cancer patients as far as type of yarn, etc. I think women’s shelters, animal rescues and agencies that help the unhoused take items like these & small blankets year round. It’s pretty fun to go down the rabbit hole re crochet and knit donations in your local community 😊
