Another Stash Project

I’ll be the first to admit that I have a healthy yarn stash but it makes me feel really good to know that I can make pretty much anything I want to make from this day forward, no matter how long “forward” might be, and even though I might have to order a skein here and a skein there, most everything can be made from my stash.

Bronwyn is a sweater that’s been on my radar for a long time. It looks challenging but it looks amazing. I knew I had plenty of stash yarn options. I wanted to use more of a rustic wool vs. a superwash wool. Even though the pattern calls for worsted weight yarn, I love a project someone made using Blue Sky Woolstok in Earth Ivy, which is that icky shade of green that I love. I have Woolstock in sufficient quantity in a blue gray and a light gray but my heart was set on that limey/gold/green. A quick browse through my yarn spreadsheet revealed that I have something that would work.

Spawn of Scum

This is Blue Moon’s Targhee Worsted and the color is Spawn of Scum. Perfect! This is more yarn purchased in 2015. Even more perfect. I love buying yarn but I also love using stash yarn.

This is a project I probably won’t start til towards the end of summer. I need to get some things finished so I can give this my 100% attention. Stopping and starting a project like this will only result in frustration and problems so until I am confident I can give it my undivided attention for a month or so, it will all be tucked into a project bag and wait patiently for me. Getting to start on this may be the inspiration I need to get some things finished.
