The first month of the stash-buster challenge is over and Ana and I have been overwhelmed by your enthusiasm, as I write this there are 77 of us stash-busting so far! Thank you to everyone who has joined us and I hope you will continue to enjoy it as much as I know we will.
You have all got off to a great start and thank you for sharing your stashes with us here are some of them can you spot yours?
There are some really good ones out there and you have began to put them to good use already. I know there are lots of works in progress but here are some of the lovely finished projects we have done this month.
Ana has made some lovely projects this month and all the patterns are on her blog.
Visit Astri to see the beautiful things she has made this month she has given us the patterns and even shows us how to make them.

This is just one of the 24 dog coats Pat has made this month, she couldn't find a dog to model it so this little sheep kindly volunteered :)

So lovely to see what everyone is up to. So much inspiration. I have more stash to bust since my husband came home with 25 skeins from Bangkok. :/ Must start busting again but always seems to be something else to distract me. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteGoodness, lots of productivity and such wonderful projects. Your collage of the stashes makes me giggle...we are not alone!
ReplyDeleteYou've put a lot of time into this Linda and it is really appreciated. :-)
HAPPY CONTINUED STASHBUSTING TRAILS!
So many amazing creations already! I can't wait to see next month's update.
ReplyDeleteDo I need to do something differently to get mine posted in that list? :)
Wow. Didn't we all do well. Some crafters must never sleep ! I love being part of this. Thank you Linda for showing us what has been busted so far....
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda; I got your reply! You're going to force me to weave in my millions of ends, aren't you? ;)Ah well, someone's got to take charge of those wispy little things...
ReplyDeleteI agree Marianna... I saw that Pat A has already used over 2000g of yarn! :o
Thank you so much for putting this together. This challenge has really busted my stash already. I'm still on no-buy, and thanks to the challenge I've gotten lots of ideas how to use my stash :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought my 3 carrier bags of wool were a lot until I read some of these totals. I think I'm the odd one out because I'm trying to build up my stash. But I only buy bargains and I knit quite fast so the stash is static at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm busy at wotk on my stashbusting project :) in the meantime, I shared about your challenge on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a new project today taking part in a cal. I'm still using up my sock yarn, but will mix in some other colours. I don't want to get a blanket that looks like my scarf, do I? Have a nice weekend. And thanks for showing the different projects. :-) Regula
ReplyDeleteThanks for this, I've been wandering around catching up on all the gorgeous projects out there and trying not to be too distracted from my own.
ReplyDeleteIt really is nice to see what everyone is up too.
Linda thank you for doing such a fantastic job with the review and well done to all the "Bustees" there is some wonderful stunning work - also lots of projects to add to my "to do" pile xx
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone I really enjoyed doing it, I'm out collecting your pictures for the February review so looking forward to seeing what you all have planned for next month :)
