2012 Year in Review: Surmount the Stash
4 Comments
It’s been just over a year since I first learned about Revelations of a Delusional Knitter and her Surmount the Stash challenge. This has been an interesting year for me in terms of stash. I started using Ravelry’s features more actively, which helped me track my stash more closely. I also started working with Galler Yarns, [...]
Surmount the Stash – November Review
November was an interesting month, stashwise. I actually made solid progress on stashbusting. My accomplishments I finished several gift projects made from stash, including two projects for my friend’s new baby, two holiday gifts for my dad’s siblings, and a gift for my dad’s partner. I also made two little crochet sweater ornaments that will eventually become [...]
Surmount the Stash – October Review
Perhaps this post should be subtitled,”How the mighty have fallen.” After doing some supersonic stashbusting in September, I had an unusually high level of stash acquisition in October. My accomplishments I used about 1,020 yards of stash yarn for various projects, including a square and a hat for charity, three ripple projects made as samples for [...]
Surmount the Stash – September Review
At my last Surmount the Stash update, I wasn’t sure how much progress I made towards my destashing goals. Today I know that I did a great job destashing in September! My accomplishments I finally identified two charities and was able to donate 4,170 yards of yarn! It was a great relief to find a [...]
FO Friday: September Charity De-stash
This week, I finally finished a project I’ve been talking about since last year: I donated 4,170 yards of synthetic yarn that I had no plans of using to charities. (That’s the equivalent of about 11.5 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver, in case you need a visual.) I’ve been participating in the Surmount the [...]
Surmount the Stash – July Review
I did a lot of crocheting and knitting with stash yarn this month, but I also brought in a ton of yarn, so I don’t think I’ll emerge victorious in this round of Marie vs. the Stash… My accomplishments I sold 12 skeins of yarn (1,550 yards) in my Etsy stash sale. I made 14 [...]
Surmount the Stash – June Review
I definitely was not as focused on stashbusting this month as I have been for the rest of the challenge, and I have the numbers to prove it! My accomplishments I made a camera pouch using stash yarn for myself. I started a few projects using stash yarn. I made 5 hexagons (1, 2, 3, [...]
Surmount the Stash – May Review
May was an interesting month for me in terms of stashbusting, since I actually bought a fair amount of new yarn this month but I also achieved both of my monthly goals. So without further ado… My accomplishments I finally went through my stash and photographed unused skeins that I would trade or sell! And, [...]
Surmount the Stash – April Review
I’m very excited about everything I’ve done to reduce my stash in April, so without further ado, here is the update on my progress since March. My accomplishments: I finally finished my sister’s blanket, in the process using about 5,600 yards of yarn and reducing my stash storage by an entire plastic tub! I made [...]
My stash is my WIP
I’m about to start a new project. I’m designing a crocheted bag pattern using Galler Yarns Parisian Cotton in Colvert. The exact details are still formulating in my brain, which is why I have my collection of hooks out in the photo. I chose Colvert because I would like this bag to serve double duty [...]
