From the Armchair
- Knit from my well curated stash:
- Start of year- 96 skeins in Stash.
- As of Episode 63- used up 8 from stash and 4 new skeins
- Use #Stashdownthrowdown on InstaGram if you want to play along
- Challenge myself more: no update
- Publish at least 2 if not more patterns in 2015 & actively work on designs every week.
- I am actively working on a new design that I’m excited to share soon!
- Knit for me (meaning knit at least 10 more things): to date I have knit 3 hats + 2 pair of socks= 5 items for me!

Goal: Use as much leftover/ scrap yarn as you can during this time. Only scrap/ partial skein yardage counts.
Along with your Cast-On post must be a photo of the leftover/scrap yarns you will be using. You will keep one continual post through the KAL – updating with each new project and keeping track of total leftover / scrap yardage used.
We have opened a Chat Thread in Ravelry forum to discuss about project ideas. In Lisa’s first post I’ve linked to a number of different patterns that will work well for scraps. If you have other ideas, come chat in the thread and I’ll keep adding to the list.
