Stash-Busting for Stashaholics 2017

Thank you to everyone who has been stash-busting along with me these past years, remember it all started here

I have decided that for me the  stash-busting has got to continue and I hope that you will all join me again, we did really well last year but how many of us actually managed to bust it all, I fear it's an on going process and we need to encourage one another to keep it up.

Let me define just what we are dealing with here.
Stash

• Any yarn which you have in your possession can be classed as being part of your stash.
• Stash yarn has a life of it's own, it jumps into your basket when you go shopping and you arrive home not having a clue how it got there. 
• Stash yarn multiplies all of it's own accord and loves getting tangled and messy.
• Stash can also consist of fabric, embroidery floss in fact anything that feeds your hobby.

Stashaholic

• A Stashaholic is someone who can't walk past a yarn/fabric shop without going in and once in there can't leave without buying some, even if said person, (I know male Stashaholics too!)  doesn't need any more or hasn't a clue what they are going to do with it.  
• Stashaholic's think they can never have enough.

• A Stashaholic will tell people they want yarn/fabric for their Birthday or for Christmas even though they haven't a clue where they will put it once they get it.

• A stashaholics home has yarn/fabric lying all over the place and unfinished projects scattered here and there, the usual excuse is, 'I like to have a few things on the go so I don't get bored'.
• A stashaholics home has bits of wool/fabric/thread trailing all over the floor dare I say it...sometime even in the bathroom! well it does tend to cling to your clothes :)

The first step towards a cure is admitting that you are indeed a Stashaholic so do any of the above apply to you?

If you are the type of person who always buys wool/fabric for a specific purpose and then uses it all up immediately (how do you do that?!) then you can quite safely say you are not a Stashaholic and you don't need to join this challenge but for everyone else WE NEED EACH OTHER!!

So the challenge is to use up what we have before buying any more, however if you have a special project in mind just buy enough yarn for that project so that there's nothing left to add to your stash.

As long as you are busting your stash then you can be a happy Stashaholic the secret is to keep those stash mountains under control.

If you want to join in 

• leave me a comment below and place the Stash-busting for Stashaholics button in your side bar.

• Add the link party button too and link your projects to the stash-buster link party, there will be a new one on the first Sunday of each month so that we can see each others progress and motivate one another with idea's.

Weighing your projects is a great motivator, that way you can see just how many grams of yarn you have busted, if you would like to, I can keep a count for you in the totals section, check it out and see how much stash has been busted already.

We need to let other Stashaholics know they are not alone, so spread the word and lets have fun busting the stash. :)

Your questions answered

Is it too late to join in ?
No it is never too late, the challenge to bust the stash is ongoing and not confined to this year only.

2. You can still link your projects to the link party even if you don't have a blog, just use the new link method.  
3. If you would like to weigh your projects and give me the total weight in grams each month I will add your name to the totals section here.
4. If you would like to give me a starting total just leave a comment with the amount.

Please let me know if there are any more questions. and I will answer them here. :)
