Stash-Buster January Review

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.

  1. 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

  2. Goodness, lots of productivity and such wonderful projects. Your collage of the stashes makes me giggle...we are not alone!

    You've put a lot of time into this Linda and it is really appreciated. :-)

    HAPPY CONTINUED STASHBUSTING TRAILS!

  3. So many amazing creations already! I can't wait to see next month's update.

    Do I need to do something differently to get mine posted in that list? :)

  5. Thank 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...

    I agree Marianna... I saw that Pat A has already used over 2000g of yarn! :o

  6. 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 :-)

  7. I 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.

  9. I'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
