Yarn Mountain

Last night I thought it would be a good idea to pull out my yarn stash so I could work out exactly what yarns I had and what I could use them for. I have so many bits and pieces for yarn leftover from projects that need little projects to use them up but I always forget what I have so I sat down a wrote a list.

Yarn Stash

Here is a quick picture I took this morning. Most of the yarn is buried under the other yarns so here is a quick rundown of what I have:

Now that is a lot of yarn! So what I need now are some projects to use up the yarn. I am working on a project at the moment with the Holiday 8 ply but it is probably only going to use up 2 more balls which still leaves me with 3. I think it's time to do some searching through Ravelry! If you have any ideas for how I can use up this stash yarn please feel free to share!!!

  2. It might take forever, but what about a blanket with all that 8-ply? Like a crochet granny square blanket??
