A Super Simple Cardigan for These Cold Days

I have a giant cardigan that I wear pretty much all the time in winter. I call it my “house cardigan,” because like Mr. Rogers, I put it on almost as soon as I step in the door (and honestly sometimes I wear it outside the house, too).

It’s not homemade, but I have been thinking that I should make myself one or two giant cardigans so I don’t have to wear the same one all the time.

The Cotton Candy Easy Knit Cardigan from Mama in a Stitch could be in the running for such a project. It’s a big, roomy cardigan worked flat in pieces on big needles, so it should knit up pretty quickly with just knit and purl stitches and minimal shaping.

The yarn apparently is super soft and fluffy, too (this isn’t one I’ve tried but I’m eager to check it out!).

Do you have a knit garment you wear all the time? I’d love to hear about it.

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
