#StashFest2017

I love my stash, my big boxes of yarn and fibre, they give me joy and it's about time I returned the favour!

This year I will be making a year-long concerted effort to show my stash some serious love, and I'm inviting you to join me. I am hosting a 12 month create-along in my Ravelry group which can be found here.

The rules are simple:

  • Only stash purchased/received before the 1st of January 2017 can be used!!
  • All projects must have been started on or after the 14th of December 2016 (let's give last year's WIPs a chance!) and finished after the 1st of January 2017
  • All projects must contain over 50g of fibre goodness
  • Knitting, crochet, and spinning projects all count!
  • You can enter as many FOs as you like, but you will only have one post and all projects should be added to that one post (gives slower crafters a chance!) - simply edit the original post to add new projects
  • You can enter at any point throughout the year
  • Share your projects on social media using #stashfest2017

There will be a prize at the end of the 12 months, the winner will be randomly drawn on January the 6th 2018. However, there may (possibly depending on how things go!) be some smaller prizes randomly given along the way. A year is a long time after all!

Let's dive into the stash piles and show them some serious loving!

Happy New Year from me and the scruffy mutt!
