Patterns, projects and techniques
This lovely, super bulky hat evokes feelings of fall and harvest time.
The Fields of Gold Beanie is an adult sized hat with wheat motifs worked in stranded colorwork. You can work the wheat in gold or light brown, or work the hat in a darker color and the wheat in white if you like.
You can get the pattern from Crafts by Sarah Liz on Etsy.

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!
