A March Challenge,your stash-busting favourites, and a New Party

Thank you for all the fabulous link ups for February you are all doing so brilliantly with the stash-busting.  I know there have been some naughty lapses on the yarn buying front but hey we are all human and as long as we admit that we are Stashaholics and can justify our purchases then that's ok it just means that we have to take the stash busting to a higher level.  Now that bring me to the..

March challenge
Have you got yarn stashed away in some obscure corner that you absolutely hate or you haven't a clue what to do with, has it been lying there for ages and you always push it to one side and reach for a nicer colour or better texture when searching for yarn for a project? 
It's time to get it out, shake off the dust and do something with it!  I am challenging you to use up at least 100 gram of your least favourite yarn this month. I will be showing you what I have dug out and what I'm going to do with it later but first...

Your January Favourites

Sarah's December Stripes Hat

Shelly's Scrap Baby Blanket

Kate's Crazy Cloths

There were so many beautiful projects in January but these were the three you all loved the most so well done ladies :)

How much stash have you busted this month ?

I can't tell you how much satisfaction it gives to keep a check on how many grams you have busted.  It's so easy to do, all you need is a cheap kitchen scale and a note book.  Each time you finish something weigh it, put the date in your note book, name of project and weight.  At the end of the month total it all up and if you like, leave me the total here if it's up there for everyone to see it will motivate you do do better each month.

My February totals are....1123 grams

March Challenge

So here is the yarn I have dug out

This yarn was donated to me and I don't really like the texture it has been stuffed under my bed for years.  The price tag says 29 pence! so it looks like the person who donated it to me had it stashed away for years too.
I'm going to make a scarf for CHAS, it's one of the Loving Hands Spring Challenges you can read all about it here, why not use some of your unwanted yarn for it too it's all for a good cause. I can supply you with an address if you are interested.

March Link Party

The March Party is now up and Running and you can find it here...please remember to click on the other links and keep popping back because there are new projects to see every day, great for new idea's and inspiration.

Finally 
Thank you all you lovely people for the very kind get well wishes.  I have been quite Ill this past week but I think it was exacerbated by some very sad and disappointing family news I had received too.  

I'm pleased to say that the flu symptoms are much better but it has left me feeling very weak and I'm still feeling quite dizzy.  Hopefully it will soon pass and I can get on with things that have been neglected and really need doing. I'm hoping to get around and visit you all and try to catch up this weekend.


Hope you all have the best weekend xxx
