StashBuster ideas

Maybe you could contact the designer. Otherrwise you could maybe study the gauge and figure out how many inches the hat is around compared to what a preemie hat would be, and then try to figure out how many stitches that would take.

hmmmm good idea! maybe i can get around to figure it out if i’m not too lazy like usual hehe :teehee:

alright everyone, your next mission is to find something that is double knit–to eat up all of the yarn!

do you mean knit with two strands at the same time? if so, here is a pattern i have posted somewhere else in this forum that is great:
http://www.masondixonknitting.com/archives/images/ButtonholeBagMasonDixon2[1].pdf sorry if you mean something else by knitting double :teehee:

never mind… yep its double knit :slight_smile:

Using 2 strands at once would be a good way to use up that stuff…of you can just send it to me. :happydance:

LOL!

I just posted something on another post I saw on Edith Eig’s show a while back, it’s on using 2 to make a nice blended look: Adding and Blending

double knitting is basically reversible knitting. amy has a tutorial for it here: http://www.knittinghelp.com/knitting/free_patterns/heart-dk-hot-pad.php

so no, that pattern you posted is not double knitted, but its ok its still a good stash-busting project! :cheering: :slight_smile:

oopsie! sorry, my mistake! :doh: hehe but woah! i’ve never heard of knitting doubled before… sounds cool! :slight_smile:

Stash building tips, lol. its almost like u’re asking me how to get fat: just eat. if you want to build you stash, buy yarn. :teehee:

i can relate with the MMmm thing though, i haven’t tried it either. the one skein of alpaca that my swap pal sent me is the only ā€œhigh-endā€ yarn i’ve ever used. :shrug:

Skully Keychain

I can’t wait to make these. They are so cute! :wink:

I like those…and skulls normally aren’t my ā€œstyleā€. :heart:

One of those cute cell phone caddies would be cute. I made a simple navy one for my mom with an adorable ladybug button for close. But I like ones with some fun fur on it, etc.

Found a great little mini bag for sraps, one ball wonders or handspun

HereĀ“s a pattern for a stole/shawl that seems to need bits of ā€œembellishmentā€ yarn and another at the same time. Might be good for bits!
