After the last one I decided I had enough and donated the stash to a fellow knit club member because she wanted to make some ghans and didn't have much stash, she a baby knitter, but that will change once she feels comfortable with her abilities, it won't take long before she donating on to someone else and the cycle continues.

I don't have any acrylic yarn and I believe in our church are ladies who knit blankets too. Maybe it is a good thing (at least for me that is) to knit a blanket every now and then. I'll buy some yarn for it today. <br />Thank you for making me realise that the world needs more than just my teatowels and scarves.Marion B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15587172713661489822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-56913936360489946032010-03-20T22:39:02.325-05:002010-03-20T22:39:02.325-05:00Stash reduction is a myth.

I am destashing and don't have any bright colors. I am dying to go buy some, but I did promise publicly to not buy anymore yarn until the first weekend in May at Maryland Sheep and Wool. I have stuck it out and still have managed to keep my fingers busy. It's tough! I feel your pain! lol!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-77754252498513463822010-03-19T15:15:13.928-05:002010-03-19T15:15:13.928-05:00That's a great way to use leftover yarn, and t...That's a great way to use leftover yarn, and the blanket looks lovely.

There must be a little left somewhere...<br />Like Sue said: we'll never run out of yarn. The trouble is: where do we find the right yarn when we need it?<br />(answer: in the LYS, most of the time, I'm afraid)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457801491872035594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-6413866306968879592010-03-19T12:08:25.660-05:002010-03-19T12:08:25.660-05:00My first thought was "I have orange yarn I co...My first thought was "I have orange yarn I could send Leigh." Then I realized it's wool, not acrylic. (Hopefully that doesn't count as a stash reduction fail on my part!)<br /><br />The blanket is beautiful! That's a good idea and a very worthy project. I've worked with kids on quilts for Project Linus.<br /><br />We'll never run out of yarn, will we?<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.com
