I started participating in A Swap a Month on Ravelry in July. I had a little extra crochet time over the summer, I love swaps, and I’ve been reasonably good about destashing so I figured adding one surprise skein of yarn to my stash each month couldn’t be all bad. Most of the swaps include [...]

I actually started a second version yesterday so I could take some tutorial pictures to include with the pattern. It’s being tested on Ravelry as we speak! I’m making this version with Austermann Step, a [...]

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, [...]

Back in the day, I didn’t know I had a color problem. I went about my way, choosing colors at will. And then, one day in the late 1990s, it happened. I was minding my own business on the subway when an older man came up to me. He dramatically looked over my outfit (a [...]

Since January 16, I’ve had a secret. I’ve been participating in a swap through The Blog Hub group on Ravelry. Each swapper was tasked with finding out more about their swapee (in secret) and creating a box with at least 7 swap items. There were several required items (at least 100 g of yarn, a [...]

I’m currently hosting a swap through Ravelry’s Blog Hub group. The purpose of the swap is to share yarn from within our stash with another blogger and attempt to stretch our own creative boundaries by imagining (and hopefully creating) projects using the mysterious yarn swaps we receive. You can read about the yarns we’ve received [...]
