This is just the motivation I need to get started again! I’ve been in a fiber funk for a couple months now but I’ve got tons of stashed yarn. This sounds like a fun way to break my funk and clear out some odd ball yarn!
Welcome!
LOL - I really like your user name.
Welcome to the fun!!!
Welcome! You could join a make along to help inspire you too. What do you like to knit/crochet?
I found you again! lol, Guess now I can unjoin on fiberocity
We’re so happy you found us!
Thanks so much! I love to Crochet mandalas, blankets, pillows, amigurumi, just about anything. I’m a novice knitter but have successfully made scarves and finger-less gloves. I also weave on a Rigid Heddle Loom. Mostly shawls and rugs at this point but when I have some time, I’ll experiment further with that.
Yesterday I used a little over half a skein of Caron Simply Soft to make this Hat from a free pattern I found on Moogly called “The Ivy Hat” by Maria’s Blue Crayon. I balled the leftover yarn. Not sure if there’s enough for another hat. I’m pretty sure I used over half the skein. Anyway, here’s my first FO of 2020!
beautiful!!!
The hat is lovely and the color is so pretty.
I knitted 200g of yarn (white cardigan), which gives me 4 points. No purchase this week, although today I received a t-shirt yarn for the pouf. But I bought it 2 weeks ago.
WTD +4 YTD +4
Great hat & beautiful color!
Great idea! My plan is to knit at least a half of my current stash or =5 kg. And of course to buy less yarn (no more than 0,5 kg a month).
I have some of that color! Maybe I will make a hat with it as well
Which shade of simply soft was that? I have quite the collection, and am always looking for colors I may not have yet lol
Just found this challenge. Good thing I can start at the Jan 1 number. DIL gave me a full tote of yarn at Christmas. Basically she tripled my stash!! I only count things when they are totally used up, so that means +2 when I finish the ball, cake, skein and -2 when my monthly fiber club arrives. Is there a way to count fiber turned into yarn. or is it neutral and I can just count the balls used when I use the handspun??
We’re happy you found us!
If the fiber is already in your stash, I wouldn’t count the skeins you spin as added stash. However, if you get additional fiber, when you spin it, it’s adding to your stash.
O good! Same DIL gave me a full box of fiber. I gave some to a granddaughter, but it about doubled my fiber stash. I just finished spinning some up today!!
Also can someone tell me how to put those comments that appear at the end of some members posts?? I figure that is a good way to keep track.
