The year is almost over, and your knitting supplies have been accumulating over the past twelve months. All those free samples from various craft shows, that leftover half skein of yarn from a questionable bikini top, and that tiny bit of wonderful wool from your favorite alpaca farm. Forget about organized, your yarn bin is a gnarled mess of tangled fibers. For some reason, you can only find one of each needle. Your craft room is more of a jungle than a place of creative growth and relaxation. What happened? Somewhere in between January and December your knitting paradise turned into a yarn scrap junkyard.
Don’t despair. There is a way out of this tangled, fiber-filled mess. These stashbusting projects are sure to clean out your yarn bins and clear off your shelves. Among the selection of super stashbusters are easy knitting patterns for little ones and knits to decorate your home. Knit a few of the jewelry pieces and watch that silk and cashmere blend vanish. Any one of these free knitting patterns will help make a dent in that yarn-filled pit of despair you call a knitting closet.
So let’s raise our needles to the yarn we used in 2013. It kept our fingers busy and our bodies warm. The New Near brings new opportunities for even more sumptuous fibers and delectable color ways. Let’s cheers to the endless possibilities of next year’s yarn stash. May it stay forever tidy and organized.
