Just a partial skein, although I still have a bunch of it left. I could probably make a few more hedgehogs too.

I love it when you take an already extraordinary piece and make it into something even more extravagant! This is over the top with luscious fabrics and trims…and ruffles galore!

You’re so sweet to say this! I will say I did a much better job sewing the pillow cover than stitching the cross stitch with is riddled with booboos!

The flowers look great, you are cruising along and will have that shawl done in a heartbeat!
I bought the pattern for the Amazing Technicolor Dreamsweater by Stephen West, which could be great for scraps if you’re in the mood for another garment. He has a lot of other fun funky patterns too that could eat up your yarn if so desired lol.

Wow! those are great!
I love the Double A Design Blanket…not sure I want to do anything for a bit that requires all the end weaving…not my favorite part…BUT, it does use a lot of solids, which is what these are!
@sheepBlue …I have admired that sweater for some time! I will have to finish the two I have going first…with tax season approaching quickly, I might just need a break and start my art doodling classes…I need quick fixes when I am stressed! lol

Hey Stash-busters! There’s a new LC Challenge. A great excuse to use up stash supplies to make yourself something cheerful and bright.

this isn’t exactly a destash, but a moral victory: there was a reallllllly tempting estate sale last weekend. 4 sewing machines, a serger, loads of thread cones, and.so.much.fabric. Just a few miles from my house.
I didn’t go! I didn’t go on Saturday, and I didn’t go on Sunday, even though we were just a mile away.
of course, I DID go to a different garage sale on Friday and bought some craft supplies…

I have slowly been gathering all of my stash from various locations in my house. I started with my yarn stash and found a lot of hooks and needles with projects that I am going through and deciding if I want to finish them, frog them, or just pass them on.
I am also making the decision to not have to use up something just because I have it…so, I went through my acrylic yarn (mostly leftovers from other people, stuff I don’t do anymore, etc). I pulled out about 15 different yarns and using three at a time, crocheted this huge basket. I managed to empty a purchased basket to re-use it for workout clothing in my closet. I am now down to one bin of acrylic yarn. I will sort through that and if future projects are not there, I am going to get rid of it.
Crochet basket in progress, purchased basket I was emptying, and bin of the remaining acrylic yarn:
Completed basket:
Close up. I used several shades of aqua, marine blue, purple, and grey. By using three strands held together, it blended the yarns and also made the basket very sturdy. I put it in the guest room to hold beach towels for our visitors.
