What to Do When You Have Too Much Yarn Stash

Knitting

August seems to be the time of my personal annual stash review. My fall festival season kicks off with my local yarn store’s anniversary sale and ends with Rhinebeck if I’m able to go. This typically meant I would go through all of my WIPs (works in progress), and my yarn stash to take inventory….

A few recent makes and finishes. 👀🔥 1 & 2. A few recent makes and finishes. 👀🔥

1 & 2. The #parasoldress in this beautiful linen, the oldest fabric in my stash.
3. My second #deschain in a neutral I’ve been craving for years. In #berrocoyarn Modern Cotton.
4. My home office/craft room refresh. Pulled the carpet, laid peel & stick tiles, color drenched the walls & ceiling, and upgraded my craft supply storage solution. I’m OB 👏 SESSED 👏! There’s still a little more to do like swap out the ceiling fan, overall clean up and organize/purge my crap, and to finish hanging my cross stitching, art, and curtains, but it’s been so fun to work and craft in here already I can’t get over it.
