Celebrate Knitting with March Mayhem

Just in case you don’t follow Mason-Dixon Knitting (and you absolutely should) I wanted to let you know that the sports-inspired celebration of the best knits of 2017, aka March Mayhem, is open for voting as of today (March 15).

The big four categories of knits this year are yokes (so many yoked sweaters in 2017!), neck and shoulders (shawls and cowls), sweaters and projects using mini skeins.

The best of the best will be chosen in rounds of voting — just like basketball games — until one project remains from each category and, ultimately, a winner is declared.

Even if you don’t take part in the voting this is an excellent way to learn about some really great patterns. The links above will take you to a roundup of the designs for each section of the bracket.

Which design will reign supreme? We’ll have to wait until the end of the month to find out!

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!
