I would have snatched up the Caron Simply Soft in one swoop…you are a stronger person than I…

I would have totally scooped it up. That kind of yarn is great for my charity hats I make for our city’s unhoused population. Won’t shrink if it gets wet.

All I’ve wanted to knit this year are washcloths and doll sweaters. This hasn’t been great for destashing because I didn’t start the year with any cotton yarn in stash, and doll sweaters use about a quarter of a ball of sock yarn. That’s not going to put a dent in things any time soon.
Anywho, here’s the latest nonsense - the pattern was for a completely different size doll but I had fingering weight yarn and a mystery sock needle on hand instead of any of the materials/tools called for. Love the way it turned out.

I do as well! The colors work well together and I like the wee cuffs.
Probably should have gone down a size for the ribbing there but I only brought the one needle size with me on vacation. Living lazily dangerously!

OK! This one feels more like a “real” destash! I had a ramp that was built from scrap lumber to move a big tablesaw from Oregon to Montana last autumn. It’s 11.5’ long and 19" wide and must weigh over 100 pounds. A few changes and additions and now it’s a ramp for our aging dog to get up and down the deck stairs!
I also destashed some 1x8 boards for this. Used paint and primer on hand, as well as screws and staples. The only thing I bought was the outdoor carpet for traction. WOO!

Awww. Heck yeah for destashing for a good doggo!
It looks great, and I bet it makes her life easier.

This is great!! Old Teddie-Dog here would like to petition to move to your house but I said no. So maybe I can figure out something similar here for her. Good on you!!

Thanks, everyone! She’s getting used to it, but I think she’ll adjust pretty quickly since she did for her bed ramp and her sofa stool.

The things we do for our animals! Nice repurpose to help your dog. I have a stack of boxes setup to help my old cat into the window.

My iron exploded last night (well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but there was a pop and blue sparks) so no sewing for me for a while! Have ordered a nearly exact duplicate but it will be a while before it comes in.

@Trillian Oh, dear! I’m glad no one other than the iron was hurt!
I destashed a bunch of astroturf and some nylon gingham this week! As well as buying and using every inch of cotton print gingham so as to it never enters stash, not even a little! WOO!

Color: Metallics
Pattern: Celestial
For: Your Work Space.
Challenge: Make a lot of one single thing. It’s always fun to see how the same item looks made with different colors/patterns/materials. And if you squirrel them away now they’ll be ready for gift giving when the end-of-the-year crunch time comes!

Dare one ask what purpose these astro-turf tables will be put to?
HA! They have their own post; we hosted TheMisterT’s work team for a BBQ and needed the table space. They worked out very well, were quite comfortable and the turf makes the tables feel not-at-all like a plastic topped folding table.

Hahaha, my next project is definitely going to be “a lot of a single thing”. The timing is too perfect 
So is mine! A few swaps I am in also require multiple items…lol…
