Happy new year! As we work on our resolutions and goals for the year (and decade!) to come, I see a lot of people talking about using their stash and not buying new yarn/supplies while they have things they can use at home.
(I actually have a whole website devoted to this idea, so as you can imagine, I’m totally in.)
There are some knitters out there who are trying to help the rest of us get through our stashes, such as Amanda Scott (browngyrlknits on Instagram) who posted her stash down 2020 guidelines in November. She suggested doing a yarn inventory and making a list of patterns before the end of the year, but better late(ish) than never, right?
I also saw Julie Ann from Twin Stitches Designs is teaming up with the Crazy Sock Lady to host a stash busters knitalong, with different project themes for each quarter (Q1 is socks).
And speaking of socks, extermiknit is doing a year of scrappy socks knitalong, with the first quarter beign represented by the theme of color.
Do you have plans to use your yarn stash this year? I’d love to hear about it!

I am certainly behind this idea! Do you have ways of matching Stash Yarns to Patterns?
I am thinking hard about an ebook on this subject. 😉
