This Long Cardigan Will Help You Get Ready for Fall

I know it feels like summer barely started, but fall will be here in the Northern Hemisphere before we know it (my kid goes back to school in less than a month!).

Long cardigans are perfect for layering any time of year, and stripes give you a great option for using up little bits of stash, or you can make them all one color as shown on Joji Locatelli’s Long Summer Cardigan.

It’s worked in fingering weight yarn, and is available in 10 sizes intended to be worn with 6 to 10 inches of positive ease. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down and has some fun texture thrown in along with the stripes.

Check it out and purchase the pattern from Joji’s website.

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!
