.....plenty more still to be done!
You may remember that back in November I decided to make myself a shawl as part of my stash-busting exercise. I started making it with granny stripes, but after a few rows decided that I would prefer a pattern that was less "holey".
I finally got the shawl finished last week! It may not be the prettiest shawl on the 'net but it is snuggly and warm ~ plus I have whittled away at that stash just a little, which is a good feeling.
Of course, there was still some of the yarn left but not enough to actually make anything with. So I decided to simply knot the ends of the little leftovers together and wind them into a ball of "crazy yarn". I will keep doing this with all the little odds 'n' sods of yarn as I work my way through the stash. Eventually I will have enough crazy yarn to make something useful, and in the process nothing will be going to waste.
Beverly gave me this cute little bag at Christmas. I am a sucker for the lovely eco-friendly shopping bags that Tesco sell from time-to-time and have collected rather more that I need for actual shopping LOL This one, though, is really more of a gift bag rather than being suitable for taking shopping, so it's the perfect size for coralling my balls of crazy yarn 😊
