I love projects that are useful, and if they can be both useful and stash busting that’s even better.
The In the Kitchen Taffy Towel from Be Sweet on Craftsy has the potential to be both of those things.
It’s a big kitchen towel worked in Garter Stitch in red, white and blue stripes, but of course you could pull out all your little bits of 100 % cotton yarn and make a bunch of random (or not) stripes to use up all those odd balls. And the pattern is free!
At 13 x 18 inches it’s already pretty good sized, but I kind of want to make one the size of my kitchen counter to use when I’m washing all the pots and pans. That would make doing chores just a little more fun, wouldn’t it?
