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.

Apparently, [...]

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 [...]
