I love that the tide is turning and it’s no longer cool to buy into overconsumption, so many de-stash videos is making me happy.
I agree. I'm seeing a lot about it too and I'm working on retraining my brain that more isn't better. 🧶🧶🧶
Thing is, I don’t have a stash anyways because every time I buy yarn I’m either having to justify it to parents or telling parents I’m going to buy yarn…I kind of wish I could have a stash later.
Same
@@EliseRoseCrochetit’s really positive to see and thank you for sharing, maybe it’ll help others rethink the idea of less is actually more and to de-Influencer the craft ❤
I decided two years ago that I was going to be 100% stashless, and I have accomplished that goal!! It's possible and so freeing!! 🎉
ELISE. any time you over pack your suitcase on the trip BACK home...
Tip:
Don't pay the Airlines.
Go to the Post Office or Pack&Mail center and mail it to yourself. It may arrived a few days after you, but it's worth it.
Much better idea!! Thank you! 📦
I'm so in love with the sudden amount of stash-busting videos from all sorts of creators right now! It feels like there's a new yarn everyone's gotta have lately but I'm all against this consumerism phase we're in and want to focus on busting out the stash I have rather than wasting money making it grow larger. Plus I need space to store other stuff rather than balls of yarn lol
It really is wonderful!! I can't wait to share about the project I started yesterday, which a good stash buster and it's gorgeous! 🧶🧶🧶
I love your yarn
'My eyes are larger than my stomach" that made me smile.😊
😊😊😊
How about a follow up video when you get all (or some) of these projects done? I’d like to see how they turn out.
That's a great idea!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great destash projects - yes, you can purchase 1 skein to use up 3 others!
Toni is my Tunisian crochet queen. You are my Amigurumi crochet queen ❤
Thank you for the permission!!!! Toni is amazing!!! So glad we got to meet in person! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise, please buy that one yarn skein! You deserve it! If i could i would walk by and just slip it into your craft room like i was your yarn fairy.
Haha!!! Thank you for the permission!! 🧶🧶🧶
My crochet bestie came over today and I was able to gift her the yarn in my stash I cannot use anymore. That weeded out a lot of my stash and I’ll be donating the rest of the unusable yarn to the youth enrichment program of the local school system. Loved the ideas for busting a stash.
That's awesome!!!! 👏
as a new crocheter, it’s hard to not fall into overconsumption especially with yarn. i’ve learned a good habit is keeping track of which projects i’ll ACTUALLY make, complete and use/ be proud of in some way. for example, i never use cotton, but i bought a 250g skein of a cotton/polyester blend to make a reusable shopping bag and i live how it’s coming out! for $10 i got a reusable bag and saved money by not having to buy more bags when shopping and buying a reusable bag. i recently started a blanket of all my leftover yarn that’s too big to use for stuffing amigurumi! i hope these habits carry on into the future, because honestly if anyone is struggling with overconsumption, the best thing that worked for me to help was to make things i’ll actually use/need that way you don’t have to buy from a company and you can feel proud that you’ve made something that you can use for a long time! like clothes, socks, shopping bags, etc!
That's amazing!! Good way to start out in your crochet journey!! 🧶🧶🧶
Awwww Elise! You got my blushing over here. I could say the same about you and more. I'm so inspired by what you've done with your business and channel in the short time I've known you. You're gonna take it to the moon and beyond, I just know it!! Can't wait to see your Open Book Wrap :-)
Toni and I went to college together and would crochet in the dorms with our friend Tommy! I can confirm her amazingness since at least *mumble mumble* years ago. Love seeing her growth and getting to know you, Elise, through RUclips. ❤
Thank you so much, Toni!! ☺️☺️☺️
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️❤️❤️
Some great tips here, thank you. I'm so envious that you met Toni, one of my crochet heroes.
She was the nicest person in real life, very down to earth! ❤️❤️❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet I can just imagine. You're one of my crochet heroes too by the way ❤
I'm right there with you Elise. Additionally, I have nowhere to stash my stash. It's in bags, boxes and bins with no organization. I keep telling myself to work it off but it's increasing since I started crocheting tote bags with cotton yarn which is not part of my stash. Oh well, one day I'll catch up.
Glad you met Toni! She's one of my favorites! I love your videos and hers!
I'm really enjoying focusing on working with the yarns I already have! 🧶🧶🧶
I feel the same way about all the patterns I've purchased. I must live to at least 127 to accomplish them all!!
Exactly!!! 🤣🤣🤣
U read my mind- this morning I was searching for things to do with my yarn that doesn't have anything to be used for
I'm so glad it was good timing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Your enthusiasm is contagious!!! You need a big stash so we don't have to lol. I'll let you try out all the new yarns!
Lol!! I'll take one for the team and have the big stash! 😂😂😂
I love the video! A cool idea is to have a yarn giveaway with the yarns you won't use anymore. I'm now crocheting a baby blanket, and I loved the other blanket patterns you shared!
That's a great idea!!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I'm trying to destash my yarn too. Funny, I'm also trying to live by the rule of St. Benedict, so one of the rules is to keep busy. I think I have enough yarn to keep me busy for the next year or so. Thanks for the ideas. God bless!
Haha!!! I absolutely love that!!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love this video. I also adore Jayda in Stitches she’s how I finally learned to crochet as well!
She's great! 🧶🧶🧶
I recently started using my yarn stash to crochet lots of hats and scarves for a local charity that is looking forward to receiving them in the fall.
Wonderful! 👏👏👏
Here is an idea to use up small amounts of different colored yarn. My granddaughter is graduating from high school on Friday and just got her drivers license as well. She requested that I make her a granny square steering wheel cover and seat belt cover in springy, pastel colors. So I made her one and tied it all together with a white border and it is adorable! You can use any square that you like. Grannies, sunburst grannies etc. I used a flower type granny square and I am quite happy with the results. I used the magic knot method to change colors so I didn't have a massive amount of ends to sew in. I imagine these would sell pretty well if you do craft shows.
How fun!!! Love those ideas!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great ideas. Thanks so much for all you do for the Crochet Community. I hope that you have a nice Memorial Day weekend.❤️
Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes my hands are bigger too. I have wayyy too much.
Lol!!! I get it!! 🤣🤣🤣
I was all excited to explore some new ways to use up my stash … Now I want to go out and get more of your yummy yarns - especially intrigued with the Bernat Lattice yarns 🤔 I hope you come back and show us your stash busting progress- the vintage vineyard blanket, Toni’s shawl, and the cardigan are my kind of crochet ❤️
Thank you for the free worksheet
You are welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
You and I are in the same ballpark. I have a huge yarn stash but I am also a quilter so I have a fabric stash! However, I am considerably older than you! I have also belonged to Craftsy which I loved! One thing I did was knit or crocheted scarves and hats and face cloths. These I gave to a group that helps the homeless. It definitely made me feel good and thankful that I was not in need.. it also was a wonderful thing to do during Covid. So. I will be interested in some of your ideas 😅😅😅.
That's wonderful! Thank you so much for praying! 🧶🧶🧶
Love this podcast! You inspire me!!
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
Great destash ideas! Knit Picks Palette yarn is great for amigurumi, especially when you have limited space for display. The toys work up great in this yarn but are a nice smaller size. It just takes some getting used to working on a smaller scale. Those mice are so adorable, I have to look up the pattern. Also, it makes perfect sense to buy one ball of yarn so you can destash three others. Go for it!
Thank you for sharing about KnitPicks Palette! I'm not used to working with yarn that thin, but I should give it another try! 🧶🧶🧶
Palette is one of my favorites!! I love knitting Musselburgh Hats with it. I used it for my family's Christmas stockings, a Half + Half Triangles Wrap, and I actually have another Half + Half Triangles Wrap on the needles as we speak. 🤣 It's so good!!!
It comes in sooooo many beautiful colors!! 🧶🧶🧶
I use the Knit Picks palette yarn to make amigurumi!! It’s actually really really good for it. Then again I make my amigurumi as collector pieces and not as toys
What size crochet hook do you use??? It's beautiful but it's so thin! 🧶🧶🧶
I totally relate to this stash situation. I've come to the point where I'm avoiding any shops that sell yarn. I don't normally crochet, but because it's quick and uses more yarn than knitting, I've already made 2 hobo bags and 1 granny flower purse.... Looking forward to see what other ideas you have 😊
I want to add your stash to my stash! So much lovely yaaaaaarn! lol! x
Haha!! Thank you! 🧶🧶🧶
Thankyou for sharing so many stashed busting projects. You are so energetic love your videos. ❤️🧶
Thank you so much! ☺️
Please keep us posted on your progress on this list!! It is a great idea.
Thank you!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love starting new projects! LOL 😂 sometimes I have limit my WIPs to 3/4 ish… so I will finish some! Good video- I like your suggestions and found a new RUclips channel to follow:
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🧶🧶🧶
I love all the patterns! And I soooo want all that yarn that you showed!!
Thank you!!! So many pretty yarns! 🧶🧶🧶
WOW!! The Pretty in Pink Shawl is stunning!!! Delighted that you got to H&H in Chicago! If you ever have the opportunity to attend H&H in Cologne, Germany it will be an experience of a lifetime!!! Love that you were able to get some of Premier Yarn's Cotton Fair. Cotton Fair is a collection that will never disappoint!!! Can't wait to see what you create with the Premier Yarn Minikins! This is such an inspiring video!!! Keep bringing more love and joy into our world through the wonderful works of art you create with yarn and through your beautiful and enthusiastic personality!!!
Thank you so much, Michele! I was hoping to see you at H+H, but I was able to see Hal and Hattie and meet the new social media manager! I would love to go to Cologne! What an experience that would be!! 🧶🧶🧶
I’m making Wheelchair Wraps for my summer project, and then donating them this fall to a local nursing home near me. It’s a perfect project for acrylic yarn, and I’m using both worsted and DK weight. Once you know the pattern, you can just hum right along! (And the wraps are perfect for those who are seated as they don’t get in the way, and are easily washed.)
That's awesome!!! 👏
Thanks so much for sharing!! Have a great weekend! 🧶🙂🙃🥰😘❤
Thank you! You too! ☀️🧶❤️
Hi ELISE and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and my sample blanket by bee creative crafts and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your RUclips channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects
Thank you, Samantha! I'm working on a new granny square blanket project and can't wait to share about it soon! 🧶🧶🧶
My dear Elise Rose. I love your videos and ideas so much that my yarn stash has grown significantly. Many friends and family feel I have an addiction and should take a 12 step program to release me from my crochet habit. Some have suggested I stop watching your videos. Thank goodness they can't control my phone. Anyway, if you can do a video to show me how to donate my work to organizations in need. You are awesome 🎉
Lol!!! Well you're in luck! I already have that video for you! ruclips.net/video/aH5SK82UERo/видео.htmlsi=1iIMWUCSdkN8iN2O ❤️❤️❤️
I’m in the same boat named “yarn abundance.” I remember the days when I might have a spare skein or two, but to date I have so much yarn that I have filled over 12 totes, and that’s after purging and gifting a decent quantity. Fortunately they are separated by fiber content, which helps, but I have this need to knit and crochet my way through them. I’ll be checking out the patterns you’ve recommended in hopes of reducing the hoard.
It's very motivating to use up your own stash when you find the perfect project!! 🧶🧶🧶
This was a fabulous video I’m going to have to watch it again
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you. I’ve been looking for a blanket pattern for yarn I bought without much thought. That Eden Baby blanket is just what I needed
My problem is the left over balls. Lol! I'm going to do different granny squares with some but am looking for more ideas.
In two weeks I will have a video all about what you can do with them!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love your channel so much! This video is super helpful. I'm on a yarn diet, since I really need to use up my stash! I hope you have a lovely day. Ciao! Erica
Love that term "yarn diet"!!! Perfect description! 🧶🧶🧶
It is so fun and contagious to see how enthusiastic you are about yours Stash busting projects!!
In the last year I've been donating all the yarns I had for over a year and never used!!! I gave to my " yarny friends" in our weekly knitting / crochet group, some others to charity, and some to a local school who have a knitting- crochet group for kids under 12 yrs old 🥰
But as someone who crochet 99.9 % of the times amigurumis, I would like you to make the same type of video , but with amigurumis projects please, smalls quick one but also bigger ones ( they take more yarns!!!😉)
Thank you for you always excellent and inspiring videos!
Thanks for the video suggestion!! 🧶🧶🧶
Ok … now you’ll need to do a video on finished stash buster projects! 😘😘🧶
Oooh! Good idea!!! 👍
I really hope you get the skein of yarn! I am trying to bust my stash so I can acquire more of the yarn I really want.
That's a good plan!! 🧶🧶🧶
That is what I asked doing I am making a couple Christmas gifts with some of it
Wonderful! 🎄
Another great stash buster is crochet flower bouquets! Especially if you have small amounts of yarns. There are so many different flower sizes and pattern complexities that you can really make it work with anything. Collect enough of them, arrange into a bouquet, and give it as a gift! I’m currently busting my stash by making individual flowers to tack onto a curtain of vines above my windows
Me crying in Italy with only 5 skeins of yarn 😢.
That's great!!! You don't need a big yarn stash, just what you need!! 🧶🧶🧶
Love the projects you picked out.
Thank you!! I really love them all!! 🧶🧶🧶
AS ALWAYS...SUCH A GOOD IDEA!
Thank you so much!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for another great video Elise! I love the way you describe these yarns. We all have different yarns in our stash so knowing the characteristics of the ones you have is very helpful in determining if these patterns are suitable for the yarns in mine. Speaking of which - I'd love a dedicated video on how to substitute yarns! TYIA!! ♥️
P.S. I love your downloads - they're always super helpful!!
Great suggestion for a video!! Thanks for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
I had an unhealthy abundance of chenille and blanket yarn and I just sold it all😌 I know in my heart I probably won’t make plushies again for awhile and want to focus on more functional projects; I just crocheted a laptop case and am working on some blankets. Consumerism got the best of me last year but I’m finally ready to cleanse everything that I’m not going to use, and things that don’t bring me joy anymore
That's wonderful!!! I'm so glad you sold what you won't use and moved on to projects you're more excited about! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for this video!! Great projects!! I gravitated to the Open Book Wrap. It's so fun to make!! I'm almost finished with it (I would've been done but noticed that I messed up early on, watching the American Idol finale😹) Lots of colorways going through my head for future wraps. 👸💜🐈
Oh how fun!!! I love that one!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I’m in the process of itemising stash and doing the same as you xxx
Wonderful!! 🧶🧶🧶
I just printed that premier top and can’t wait to make it too! Great minds think alike! 🤗 love your ideas and stash busters!
It is gorgeous!! I would wear it every day in the summer! ☀️
@@EliseRoseCrochet me too!!! I’ve made a couple summer tops so far. Can’t wait to see how yours turns out! 🤗
I am finishing my stashes on the Little cotton rabbits. Afterwords Mary Jane tearoom and so forward
Oooh! I love those projects!! 🐰🐰🐰
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
I discovered “the felted button” years ago and I love her work! Loved the photo of you and Toni.❤ so I got to see two of my favorite “yarnies” together! Early this year I too made a list of patterns and yarn to start taking my stash down. Now I’m making baskets, holding 3-6 or 7 strands of yarn. Absolutely love them!!! Can be a little stressful on my arms and hands. So I had to slow down. Already sold one of the two I made. 👍
Oooh! Those baskets sound amazing! 🧶🧶🧶
I got a lot of scrap yarn from buying it off of someone. I don’t like most of the type or feel of the scrap yarn but learned to just deal with it and make interesting tiny projects with it. It’s quite enjoyable figuring out how to finish yarn you don’t like and making it into something interesting
Yes buy that yarn! ❤
Thank You for all the Great ideas for yarn busting. You’re such a pleasure to listen to and really love the easy triangular shawl pattern. ♥️🩷♥️
That one really is beautiful! 🩷❤️🤍
Thanks for sharing all your helpful ideas from your yarn stash & projects Elise. What I’ve started to do is every time I purchase yarn that’s a ‘must have’ with a project in mind, I purchased some clear plastic bags that are zippered, placed the yarn in it with a ‘To Do’ note which includes the name of the crochet project along with the RUclips video tutorial for reference & crochet hook size. This helps me keep track of upcoming crochet projects. I also try to include a photo of it in the plastic bag & I do a sample such as a granny square if that’s the project that I want to work on next & so on.
Such a great idea!! Thank you for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
What a great idea
Thank you! 😊
I have spent the last year or so trying to stash bust and i really feel good! I was never one to have a huge stash so it wasn't long before I was seeing the results. Now i'm down to 5 or 6 skeins of cotton and my holiday colors. I typically keep a selection of reds, greens, blues, and grey/silver because every year I make ornaments for my friends and coworkers so my holiday yarns don't really get busted like regular yarn 😊. It's a really good feeling!
That's awesome!!!!! 👏👏👏
1:34 Eyes are bigger than my hands😂😂 Good one, that’s a keeper!!❤😂❤
🤣🤣🤣
What is the 3 d stitch?!!
I'm not sure, but it's detailed in the pattern! It's gorgeous!!! 🧶🧶🧶
A couple of years ago I bought a ton of loops and threads impeccable to make a temperature blanket. I have tried every year for about 3 years to start one but I finally accepted this year that I have ADHD and I’m never going to have the attention span to do a temperature blanket. So I’ve been slowly chipping away at it. 😅 right now I’m working on an infinity fidget cube. I think over the summer I’m going to make a bunch of möbius loop fidgets for my classroom (I’m a special education teacher.)
That is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing what you're working on! 🧶🧶🧶
Just printed out my yarn worksheet - so cute, I love them
Great!!! 😊
I saw your podcast on how to realize a fake pattern from AI. Thank you so much for debunking AI I unfortunately have two books I think are AI that I won’t be able to use and I lost money on it live and learn. Thank you so much. I love all that you do, I’ve been crocheting since I was in my 30s knitting since I was in my 20s and I’m 72 years old still going strong thank you so much for being out there cause you’re encouraging me to keep going
Thank you yes I have lots of yarn.so I need to use it up
I'm having so much fun using up the yarn I have!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for the info, I have to organize my stash first so I can see what I have, which is alot
The Blankets, Scarfs, Bag and yarns are off the chain 🎉
I loved this collection of patterns! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise how are you doing today iam doing fine today thank you for sharing stay safe ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
You’re funny 😄. This video has definitely gotten my wheels turning. Thanks 🙏
You always make me so happy! Your energy is amazing! I have a very large craft room and decided to use up all my stash before I begin a new project…..it has been quite a challenge! I am retired and I love making blankets and I wonder if you might have any ideas…like what to do with all the blankets I have made? ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!! There are a lot of organizations who want crocheted blankets! Here's a video I did about it: ruclips.net/video/aH5SK82UERo/видео.htmlsi=XwtqAvkcJ95GX_EA ❤️❤️❤️
I simply enjoy your podcast. You have so many ideas and I’ve learned a lot from watching. Thank you for all the time you invest into your channel. I mostly crochet or knit hats for homeless vets and lap throws for nursing homes…I feel this is my calling. I would like to find a quick mitten and slipper pattern to go along with the hat and blankets…it’s just a matter of time. Not much of what I have as I’m in ESRD . MY CROCHETING BRINGS ME A LOT OF PEACE THOUGH. TAKE CARE
That is so wonderful!! You have such a giving heart! Sending all my best wishes! 💌🧶❤️
Awww West Yorkshire spinners is local to me xx
How wonderful! I was able to spend a few minutes chatting with the women at the booth! Such a lovely yarn company! 🧶🧶🧶
The only reason I am doing low buys every year or trying... Is I hit a zone and a time of life where I can't see what I have easily... I am a crafter that is prompted to make by the supplies, not the pattern. So a large stash will be a constant. I have just hit a zone that is too large for me to easily manage.
I love seeing all of the stash busting videos and how we are all working in different ways to hit the same goals.
Wonderful!! 🧶🧶🧶
Dear lady, love your enthusiasm in this video. It's ok. God doesn't punish us for our love of yarn. At least, I hope, he doesn't. I don't consider it over-buying, I consider it a collection. Some people collect stamps or figurines, I collect yarn. I'm thinking of making blankets and shawls and selling or giving them away, also. I made a blanket for friend that moved away and she was thrilled with it. It was just a variety of similar yarns from my stash (a lot of Lion brand wool-ease). I've always found that one of the great pleasures of life is just making something for a friend and seeing their smile when I present it to them. I am also working on making myself sweaters, even with mixed brands of yarn. I taught my husband to knit and crochet and we used to give hats and scarfs away to our waitresses at our favorite restaurant. Lots of fun.
Bought myself some yarn from Expression Fiber arts, It's glorious but the most expensive yarn I've ever crocheted, it's going to be truly a great sweater. I live in rural area and often work outside so most of my clothes are rather practical and country-fied, even my sweaters get a lot of wear and are simple in design. Granny squares remind me of my mother... 40-50 yrs ago she was making wonderful blankets and clothes... loved her work.
That's a wonderful perspective! Thank you for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I love these stash busting videos. I literally have binged several just this week. I’m using up my yarn by making those colorful baskets with the handles.
Oooh! Love crochet baskets!! 🧶🧶🧶
Use up yarn and you have more room to buy yarns. Simple equation.
When I first started crocheting, I could only do granny squares so I brought a mix of different yarn makes some were so cheap and itchy. I stopped doing that and stick to a brand I know and like.
I mainly make blankets but just started doing amigurumi. I realised the other day that I haven’t brought any yarn since last August, I’ve just recently finished my latest blanket. So started to look at what to start next, I tend to only buy yarn for a project, but I do have a bit of a stash.
I always go through that before buying any yarn to see what colours for a project I already have. Then make a list of the rest I need, any left overs go in box to be made into amigurumi.
That's great! Thanks so much for sharing!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for this wonderful video. You make me excited. I'm making an afghan right now, but I have so much yarn. If I like it, I buy it. Then I forget what I was making with it because I didn't right it down. I'm trying to change that. I bought a notebook!❤
That's wonderful!! 👏👏👏
I buy yarn for a project get home and totally forget what project I was going to make. I think I will definitely download the stash buster sheet. Love your videos. God bless have a great week. 😊
Hope it helps!! 🧶🧶🧶
I love Happy Place yarn. I've used it to make amigurumi Pica Pau critters. It's deliciously soft.
It really is! I haven't made amigurumi with it, but I bet it would be fabulous! 🧶🧶🧶
I tend to work with sport weight yarn (3-4 mm needles/hook). Once I will have finished several project with those yarn, I will make a Persian Tiles blanket by Jane Crowfoot. I think it would be a good stash-busting ; scrap-using project.
The height difference on the pictures betwen you and Tony also make me smile :D
I love Janie Crow's designs!!! I started Frida's Flowers but I have never finished it. 🫣
I was told that growing up too!! My kids give me the stink eye when I say it to them lol
FREE YARN??? 😳😱
Here, it’s hard enough finding a yarn shop OR yarn show, let alone FREE YARN!!!!!
There was so much free yarn! 😱
Hi Elsie, I immediately downloaded your Worksheets; love them! I gave them a title: Elise Rose Crochet 5-24 video. I think you should have put your name on them too. Now I'll remember where my notes came from. I listed every yarn you showed with notes. It's so important to know our yarns, how they can be used at their best for a project! Thank you so much for your inputs.
I'm so glad you got the download!! 🧶🧶🧶
Signed up with Craftsy! So many projects so little time 😂
Exactly!! 🧶🧶
This was perfect timing! I keep browsing yarn but I have so much already so you inspired me to make an afghan (or big scarf) from my Wool of the Andes. I also have a sweater quantity of Palette yarn in various colours, not sure what I will make yet but I will make it my focus to find something.
That's awesome!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Excellent video ! You got me excited for sure. I have tons of yarn, I’m drowning in it! Yup great projects coming up. Making a blanket called seed packets. Love it so far. On the first 36 squares and starting the stripes then more squares. So fun. Love your projects to come. Don’t forget to show us your makes! Hugs from Canada 💖🌹
Sounds like a wonderful blanket! 🧶🧶🧶
You found so many great patterns! Can't wait to see some of the finished works. I wish I could work with wool yarns, but I just can't. Thanks for the worksheet.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise. Thanks again for introducing new creators, I like when you do this. I look forward to seeing your progress on these projects in the future. I haven't looked on ravelry in years. I didn't know you have a website! I'm going to check it out. I need to make a list. When I finish a project, I feel lost. "What do I do now?" Wandering around in the desert with my crochet hook lol.
Yes! Definitely check it out!! I have a lot of resources there!! 💌
I love the wips you are adding to your cycle of joy. I really have a few wips and rotate them so as not to begin to dislike the time one takes over another project. Please show your progress on current wips and your soon to be new ones. I loved that you were able to meet fellow creators. It seems that they inspired something within you. ❤❤🧶🧶🧶
Thank you! Yes! I feel very inspired these days!! 🧶🧶🧶
I am working through some toy pattern books I have using stash yarn, I have a couple and I often make maybe one or two projects but I wanna make all of them. i am taking my time with it though :3
That's such a fun idea!! 🧶🧶🧶
Am the same with my stash of yarn and the saying of “ Your eyes are bigger than your stomach “ is quite right with yarn too xx 😁😁😁😁
Exactly!! ❤️❤️❤️
You differently need a new one, that blanket looks great.
Isn't it gorgeous??? 🧶🧶🧶
