[I][B] I heard that!

2009 YEAR OF THE STASH! Join the Stash Train!
Grannys dishcloth is so awesome though! ;o) My cotton is a huge drawer full and now is overflowing into the floor! LOL I literally have it still in the bag from the store where I bought it. My DH is havin a cow. haha
I actually have yarn stashed in pillow cases and told dh that itās odds and ends to sheet setsā¦
he never looks in them 
WOW, never thought of that one! I might have to give it a try. :teehee: Cant wait to ādestashā and organize in 2009!!!
Ya gotta start em off slow. I saw a thing about how itās easier to store sheet sets in one of the pillow cases, tidier and youāre never hunting for a full setā¦ So theyāll see you pull out hte pillow case and pull out sheetsā¦
after a couple of months, you take the odds and ends pillow cases and put yarn in them so it looks like sheet sets then put them up high under the ānot full setsā deal
LHFBM - you are sneaky, I love it. My DH keep saying when I tell him I want yarn for Christmas, that the one thing I donāt need is yarn. My ten boxes of yarn and overflowing drawers are driving him crazy. My have to start using them pillowcases to disguise my addition.
it works
I also remind my dh of the fact that he has a TON of computer parts/superhero things that have taken over the shelves of our basement (and whatās supposed to be MY officeā¦ itās getting redecorated after the first of the year and the first thing to go are his super hero thingsā¦ sunny yellow walls and a pretty darker blue carpet. itās meant to be a sun room so itās going to be full of color since it has 5 windows over the 3 sides not attatched to the house and i have seasonal depressionā¦ plus i need a place to put my tredmill iāll be getting). So given he has a LOT more of his ācrudā he can leave mine alone.
Sounds like youāll have a great place to knit.
Iām going to plan this log cabin ā¦ghan into my weekly knitting. Iām going to start with my Christmas colors and work from there. I inherited a lot of red and green from a friend and need to finish that up first. Iāll probably work some cotton into the project as well.
I know definitely what Iāll be starting as of Jan 1st 2009 and that is my Central Park Hoddie (finally). I like to have a few projects going at the same time so I have to think a bit.
Good Luck with your destashing.
Mary
Iām just going to pull bright colors from my stash (limited as it is). Iām doing the livingroom in the same colors as my office (only difference is the woodwork in the livingroom has a reddish tint to it) so itāll go for one of the roomsā¦
Unless my 5 cats lay claim to it first!
Well, Iāve decided to start my ādetashinā early.I taught my niece to knit this summer and she loves it. So I am going to go through my stash and pick out some yarn for her and add it to her Christmas bag. :o) I know it will be loved and hopefully used with her!
excellent plan
I went to AC Moore last night and bought MORE yarn (and notionsā¦ 30 bucks worth LOL) and iām going to Joannās this weekend for their big sale.
I started knitting not too long ago, but I will definately use my yarn to make something good!
I have more shopping to doā¦ apparently my youngest got me a āgiftā at Joannās today too to give me for christmasā¦
YARN HERE I COME considering their sale starts friday
Iām all in for the āstash-ghanā, but was wonderingā¦since this is a Year Of The Stash geared toward something seamless, Iāve got some yarn Iād LOVE to try and make a sweater from. Got any seamless, not too difficult sweater patterns to go along with the afghan idea?
Iām also planning on doing some shawls, facecloths, drawstring bagsā¦mainly stuff I intended to get done for this Christmas and ran out of time.
Anyway, if you could find an easy pattern for an adult seamless (or at the very least, one knit from the neck down that maybe would only have seaming on the sides and underneath the arms) sweater, Iād totally love to try that, too!
Hi miccisue!
I will have 2 separate threads going:
[B]1) [/B] The official KnittingHelp January KALā¦for which I chose to offer a āseamlessā blanketā¦either LOG CABIN styleā¦or BLOCKS Intarsia Style.
[B]2)[/B] 2009 Year of the Stash (which runs all year)
Wellā¦since I am the Captain of the Stash Trainā¦I thought that my particular seamless blanket [I]should use STASH[/I] before buying new yarn for it. So Iām calling my particular blanket a Seamless Stashghan!
So to clarify any misunderstanding: the KAL will be for some sort of seamless blanket. In that January Knitting Help KAL we will be helping one another on [B]seamless [U]blankets[/U][/B] specifically. With new yarn, or stash yarn. Some donāt have enough stash for a blanketā¦so they might buy yarn that goes on sale after Christmas.
As for your question about an adult seamless sweaterā¦there is a seamless, top-down raglan sweater that Iāve made 3 times with different yarns. The pattern is called āSomething Redāā¦and Iāve included a link to the pattern for you. The designer is asking $5.50 for the pattern download.
This is the model sweater.
These are mine. I made my sleeves long on all three.
The yarn Iām buying is for other projects I have in mindā¦ I THINK (ok, HOPE) i have enough in my stash for an afghanā¦ I think iām going to aim for a throw and see what happens from there.
Iām with you LilMom! I have some stash acrylic yarn, and Iām going to knit my Log Cabin as far as the supplies will take me. Not sure if I have enough to complete. If I donāt, Iāll get some acrylic on sale the next time thereās a good coupon. But I should get a good running start with supplies on hand!
Iām in for the stash train,I started to put my stash on Rav but there is just so much of itā¦and Michaels has such a great sale this weekā¦must-be-strong-must-not-buy.
Iām totally going to stash-bust this year, and maybe participate in a knit-along down the road, depending on what you decide to do.
But, I did get a gift certificate from Elann for Christmas! :woohoo:
So I think getting some new yarn with that is allowed.
Oh yessss! FREE YARN & GIFTED YARN is always allowed!
:woot::cheering:Yeahhhhhh!!!:woot::cheering:
