Play with Colorwork in this Striking Cowl

, by . 1 Comment

Stranded knitting is great for projects when the weather is cold because the yarn carried at the back makes a double thickness in the fabric.

The Thabo Cowl from Noma Ndlovu uses a band of stranded knitting to make a bold statement that also adds a bit of warmth.

The cowl is worked in one piece in the round with three colors of DK weight yarn (you could use worsted and make a slightly bigger cowl if that’s what you have on hand). The finished cowl is 10.5 inches tall and 24 inches around, perfect for tucking into your coat on cold days or for a colorful statement indoors.

The pattern is available on Ravelry for $5.50.

Declutter and Get Set for the Season with the Get Organized Toolkit

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!
