Ravelry

Before I was gifted my most recent stash of hand dyed, I meticulously tracked everything in my Ravelry stash. It’s been hard to get caught up lately.

If you ever want to trade, here’s my current stash: www.ravelry.com/people/kingj...

I was luckily gifted a ton of free $30+ skeins of hand dyed yarn. It’s the dream of knitters everywhere. I feel so ungrateful, but I am stunned by the amount of options to choose from.

I would love to donate them to my local ID/DD day support.

I challenged myself to stash down this year, but the part that no one talks about is the lack of motivation to knit with the yarn you’ve got. It’s like talking to an ex after a breakup. I don’t want to be associated with you, even if you are 100% cashmere 🧢

These look perfect for scrubbing and getting clean. I love the look!!

The Solo Jazz cups. It’s a white cup with teal paint brush stripes and a purple crayon stripe over top.

I love it!! This is looking awesome!! It reminds me of those Solo Jazz cups from back in the day.

I love seeing all the ways people make Musselburghs. It’s so cool how you can make it really basic or very complicated. It looks like you’ve gotten off to a great start! Best of luck knitting it up!!

Love this! Welcome to the β€œresistance” lol I mean knitting club. I love me some Lion Brand Wool Ease. That’s going to be a cozy scarf!!

I’ve been wanting to make one of these with some leftover cotton yarn. I’m very interested to see how you integrate that colored yarn with the white.

That’s smart!! I really want to be a sock knitter. Maybe this will help do the trick!!

Incredible!! You can tell it’s made with love as it looks nice and smooth.

A hand knitted pair of socks is always a treat! He’s a lucky guy. I still have not managed to find the perfect sock pattern for my US size 16 feet 🦢

Gorgeous work!! Your tension is divine! Best of luck on the steeks. I’m so intrigued on how they turn out.

Gorgeous yarn bowl and an excellent looking sock!!

Umm… free?!? I will always stan Diana. Best of luck knitting this up!

Wow! Genau so stelle ich mir Ramen-Nudeln als Schal vor.

I just learned that a β€œblue moon” isn’t about color. It’s the second full moon in a single month! Normally, we only get one full moon per month, but this May will have two. That’s where the phrase β€œonce in a blue moon” comes from! 🀯

Whoa! This color palette is so radical!! Congrats on casting off. It’s quite an achievement to finish this shawl.

This is definitely the most luxurious yarn I’ve gotten to use. I’m a tight knitter as well, so hopefully I can change my grip to avoid those breaks. I’m sure lots of curse words will be said while knitting this hat πŸ˜‚

It looks awesome!! Everyone starts with some scraggly stitches. You’re doing great! Keep it up. πŸ‘

6 nights later and I finally have three cakes of Jojoland Cashmere. This yarn is VERY delicate.

I’ll be casting on a copycat CC Beanie for my wife. I’m thinking light pink for the brim held double and a strand of light & dark for the rest 🧢

This is my first tangled rats nest experience. This is no fun. I see why yarn stores charge for it.

Oh wow! I can only imagine how that looked. I’m not even sure how my situation happened.

A skein of tangled hot pink lace weight yarn balanced on a leg with one side connected to a ball winder with half the skein caked up.

I was hoping to start a new project tonight, but this skein of Jojoland Cashmere quickly devolved into tangled spaghetti while winding. This is a mess 🧢

Whoa!! This is super cool. I love a good Excel formula hack. Can’t wait to see it released.

Beautiful work on making this jogless. It looks gorgeous!!

The tubular cast on creates such a nice edge though. It’s hard to beat on a FO. But still, that’s a ton of stitches. Best of luck!!

I really picked up speed hoping to finish before Christmas, but I just finished up today with the button band. I plan to ship it out tomorrow to my niece.

It’s been months since I’ve picked up my knitting needles. I’m so ready for a new project. 🧢
