Planning Some Decluttering this Year?

, by . 2 Comments

Yesterday I told you about some knitalongs to help you pare down your stash in 2020, but if you also need to do some decluttering of your yarn and other craft supplies, I’ve got a resource for that, too.

I recently wrote an ebook called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, and it’s all about thoughtfully going through your crafty stash so you can keep what you really need, like and want to use and get rid of the rest to make way for more creativity.

It covers mindset issues, a vision for your crafty space, how to go through specific types of crafty materials, what to do with the things you don’t want to keep and more. And of course there are project ideas, too.

I truly believe this is information that can change people’s crafty lives. You’ll know what you have and be able to find it, and it will help you to get more making done because you only have stuff you’re really excited to make with.

The ebook is $10 and you can buy it here. I hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you struggle with when it comes to decluttering craft supplies or paring down you stash.

Chick Knitting Patterns

Recently I shared a  collection of Easter egg knitting patterns, and as we all know chicks are what comes out of eggs, so it’s only right to share some chick knitting patterns too. Chicks are perfect for spring decor even when it’s not Easter time, and they are so cute and fun to knit, too.

This fluffy chick from Sincerely Louise can also be worked in less fuzzy yarn if you’d rather. It’s worked flat and seamed so it’s a good one for newer knitters who might not be comfortable working little projects in the round. You can grab the pattern on Etsy.

This little chick from Fluff and Fuzz on Etsy looks like it’s still wearing part of its shell! There’s also an option without the white details, and you can knit these little hats as well. They’re worked in DK weight yarn. (She also has a super cute tiny egg shaped chick in a half shell that’s a free pattern on Ravelry.)

If you want ta chick that’s even more in an egg, this egg-shaped chick from Purl Soho may be what you’re looking for. It’s worked in super fine yarn so you can make a bunch of chicks with a skein or two of yarn, or use leftovers to change up the colors.

Alan Dart has a cute pattern that includes two halves of a broken egg and a chick that fits inside. It calls for DK weight yarn.

The spring chick pattern from Barbara Prime is a sweet little bird shape that you could make as other birds worked in different colors. The pattern doesn’t specify yarn weight, so use whatever yellow (or other color you like) yarn you have on hand to make birds of different sizes.

Make a cute, fuzzy, felted chick with the Chick Wobblers pattern from Cindy Pilon (available on Ravelry). These little chicks come in two sizes and have an “internal wobbler” so when you try to tip them over they wobble back up.
