Stashbuster Spiral Socks. These aren’t made form one skein, but have 1 row reapeats of different colors to use up all those tiny little balls.

OK OK. I thought of a StashBuster Idea! I got the pattern from www.patternworks.com To view it, you need to type in the word “KNITCUSHION” in the top right search bar, then click GO.

Below is the website “write-up” about it (in blue):
[color=blue]KNITCUSHION PATTERN

Place needles, hooks, holders and pencils in this fun KnitCushion made from simple garter-stitch bands. Pattern has knitting directions for five variations (4"-diameter x 2" high shown). Requires worsted-weight yarn and size #6 needles.

Item #: 800395
Price: $7.00
Status: In Stock

Below is a knitcushion that I made in one night, and I SIMPLY LOVE IT!

The “model” KNITCUSHION is shown is bright colors, but I wanted woodsy colors, and I had the scrap yarn for it! Yes, I save scraps, too!

I can’t give out the pattern directions here due to copyright stuff…but, the pattern has 5 versions and a wonderful story to go along with its “history”. It was worth the $7. The KNITCUSHION would make good gifts and stocking stuffers and door prizes at our knitting clubs, etc.
