This Simple Ribbed Cowl will Warm You through the Rest of Winter

I don’t go to knitting events because I live far away from any of them (well, I did go to TNNA once, when my last book came out, but it has been a LONG time), but I love seeing what happens at these events through social media and blog posts.

The Plucky Knitter debuted a simple ribbed cowl at the recent VKLive in New York, and because of the great interest in the project at the show, there’s now a pattern for it on Ravelry.

The fun thing about this one is that it uses three strands of yarn, which could all be quite similar in hue, or throw in one different color for a totally different look.

Either way this is a really quick and easy pattern that uses three different sized needles to shape the project rather than having to do any increasing or decreasing. Which is great when you’ve got a stitch pattern like ribbing, so you don’t have to worry about multiples or messing up the flow as you knit.

The pattern is free on Ravelry, so go grab it and get to knitting!

Do you go to knitting shows? I’d love to hear about your favorites.

Specific to knitters, you can join our Knitting Patterns Only group to get, well, knitting patterns, ask questions and gain inspiration for what to knit next.

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!
