Nobody likes the name yarn hoarder. It's much more polite to say we are “connoisseurs of the yarn stash” <giggle>. Well, for those of you who are like me, have an abundance of yarn, and aren't sure what to make with it. Here are over 20 Stash Busting Knitting Patterns just for you.
Now, if you get hand-me-down yarn from a friend, find a boatload of yarn at the thrift store, or maybe hit the perfect clearance sale at Hobby Lobby, you have free knitting patterns to help you get through that surplus of yarn (SO WE CAN BUY MORE!)!
Buying Yarn and Knitting with Yarn are 2 Different Hobbies
Half the fun of knitting is the action of buying the yarn. I always tell my husband that when I go into a store and see the yarn on the shelves, my mind fills with the possibilities of what that yarn can become.
Will I buy that superwash Merino and make a cute hat? How about that self-striping sock yarn…should I make a pair of toe-up socks? Oh, I know. I'll buy that new Swirl Cake by Caron and knit a shrug!
Whatever the yarn, I can think of a project. But my problem is that I often think of too many projects and can't decide. So my productivity is stifled, the yarn is lying in wait, and my yarn stash grows. Sound Familiar?
Enter the ever-helpful list of 20 Stash Busting Knitting Patterns. A list like this one is helpful because I get to see a whole lot of different free knitting patterns in one place. Then I can pick one pattern and move my productivity forward. No more lost knitting mojo.
