I'm really pleased with the color combinations that resulted from the yarn marling I tried this week. What yarns have you played with lately?

This week's Summer of Stash challenge is to knit for someone else. So, knit with love for someone you love or for a charity you support! What'll it be?

This week's Summer of Stash challenge is one of my FAVORITES! Without regard for yarn weight, go through your stash and pick out an appealing color palette. To help you learn how to combine those yarns and achieve consistent gauge: youtu.be/qanrF7_QhTE

Happy one-monthaversary to the Summer of Stash! We've had four weeks of organizing our yarn, our WIPS, and our patterns. For this week's challenge, let's keep it simple. Pick a gift-worthy loved one and knit them a holiday gift from stash.

One of my WIPS from last week was a needlepoint that was put aside last summer. Still needs to be framed, but my work here is done!

Taking a trip down memory lane of patterns you've purchased might just inspire you to use a yarn from stash and knit!

What will you cast on for this week?

The Summer of Stash Week 3 prompt: FINISH A WIP! Take a look at the WIPs (works-in-progress) you organized last week, find the one that's closest to being complete, and finish it. You've got this!

The Summer of Stash Week 2 prompt is to TAME YOUR WIPS! Put all of your half-finished projects on a table (or wherever!) and take stock of the projects you still want to keep. Rip/toss/donate the projects you don't want to knit anymore.

Hanging around yarn stores and buying tempting hand dyed yarns? I can definitely relate.

Excellent idea to organize category by category. It should definitely make it more manageable. Good luck!

Thatโ€™s fantastic - talk about timing! Sorry about your allergies, but hooray that youโ€™ll have a very easy reason to purge some yarn. I find it hard to say goodbye to some stash yarns, even though Iโ€™ve had them for years.

That makes a lot of sense! My go-to organizing methods are project and yarn weight. That way, if I want to get creative I can play in the yarn weight stash.

I dropped a stitch on the edge of my work during the middle of a workshop I was teaching last week. I was so excited to have the chance to fix it in real-time with my students! To check out my video for dropped edge stitches and learn why they seem so strange to fix: youtu.be/8EfSDvsk-3w
