Oh the paper horde…
I may have bought two giant paper packs last weekend while looking for some dopamine. I’m not sure where they’re going to live permanently, but I have some projects planned and already shared the sheets I know I won’t use with a coworker for a collage project. Oops.
On the bright side I started my first knitting project this year. Maybe I can get a full skein of yarn out of stash by the time I finish these socks.
I hope you manage to keep your inner yarn hoarder quiet!
I just listed a few things in a local buy-nothing group. Paint-by-numbers and diamond painting kits that I got gifted from now deceased people. I have never tried diamong painting but I’m 100% positive I’ll hate it. I did try painting by numbers and I didn’t enjoy it and was really bad at it. Hopefully someone else will love them! They’re brand new kits in pretty boxes so they take up quite a bit of space. I’m glad I didn’t unpack them at some point because brand new they’re much more appealing for someone else.
Well done!!!
Thanks!
The yarn cabinet is still quite well stocked, the stash isn’t suffering 
Great job!
I just paid a deposit to a moving company, so since it is based on how much space you take up in their truck, it is motivating me to destash a lot more. They quoted me for 40 boxes for my craft room, but I am guessing that it is more like 80 right now…I have about two months…
Of course, as I am destashing…I find myself making something:
What a room you must have 
Culling things is hard. Good luck choosing the things you most want to keep and good luck getting some quality crafting time in beforehand so you can play with your pretties and have less to sort!
Yay you!!
So organized!
Made 2 different Musselburgh dupe hats from stash yarn. The first one didn’t turn out long enough to fold over for a brim, but then I decided it’s ok without it. I think I’ve finally been able to make some hats that will keep my ears warm when winter bites hard.
Nice! I love the colour combination of the second hat, I would never have put those two colours together but it looks great.
Cute!
interesting idea!
I do like the idea of a “partial skeins” bin or basket, as I tend to feel obligated to put those partials back in the bin they came from, but honestly for the next project, I would start with the full skein so as not to have to join yarn right away! So the partials tend to just sit & sit
(I have my wool stash organized by yarn weight, from fingering up to super bulky, then the acrylic lives on one bookshelf and the cotton on another)
and I seem to keep adding a few skeins at a time, so things are getting way too crowded up in the bonus/ craft room!
On a positive note, I did pick out some yarn I’m ready to let go of & posted it on one of my Rav groups, and someone is paying me the postage to mail it to her. Now I’ve just gotta knit faster or repeat the process of sending it on to a new home~
I have a big candy jar on my yarn cabinet where i keep small balls of remnant yarns/partial skeins. It makes them look like gumballs or candy. I love it.
Right now it’s just full of my greens and browns- my frog yarns. 
i gave all tbe fun colors to the school.
Making slow progress on the stash. I’ve been concentrating on using up scrappy bits and ended up with 4 small dresses out of this oddly cut cloth.
Nice! Using up those little odd-shaped bits and pieces is a lot more challenging than using up big pieces of fabric, so I think you should get bonus points for that!
The weekend is coming! What in your stash is calling to you?
I made a vest for a friend out of some spectacular stash fabrics.
Had to buy a pattern, though, because I didn’t want to dink around drafting one. I’ve been kind of wanting a vest lately, so more might be on the way. I have an embroidered drapery panel…
I’m going to start stitching for the Prairie Schooler Spring / Summer Swap - Sign-ups CLOSED, Send-out April 20 I hope to get everything from stash, fabric, thread, pattern.
I’ve finished four socks from stash yarn over the last 2 weeks. I had wanted to donate both pairs to the fundraiser, but I experienced thread break in all of this yarn. I used for skeins in two colours from the same brand, that I probably bought at the same time, I’ve used other skeins from this brand in the past and I didn’t have these issues. They’ve been in my stash for a long, long time, maybe it was just age. But now I still don’t have socks to donate, and two more pairs for myself 
I really must stop knitting socks.
Send some of your sock motivation my way lol I still only have one of 4 socks made from what I started last year!
