Stash busted?

I thought my stash was well and truly busted. I did, I really did.


This blanket is getting so heavy that I'm going to have to stop. It does what it is required to do and that is to act as a cover to a settee.


The odds and ends of wool have crocheted up into a mass of rainbow stripes.


All the odd 4 ply, DK, Chunky and goodness knows what has been eaten up in a a stripy bonanza of colour. The stitch is blanket weave, the hook a size 10 and the number of strands varied from 2 (chunky wonky) to 4 (too thin to be of much use on their own).


I thought my stash was well and truly busted. I did, I really did until …

I bought 4 large bags of assorted wool from the CB today. It was only a pound a bag.


And look at all the wool! Now how can I stash bust that lot?


Is there room for another blanket?


Watch this space.

PS You can stop watching the space now. I'm not starting anything yet! Happy Bank Hol.

  1. What a bargain, I would have snapped that up if I'd seen it. Waiting eagerly to see what you do with it.

  2. I don't think there's any hope for you, though there wouldn't be for me either at £1 a bag, how could you have left it there. The blanket is fabulous, I love it.

  8. That's it, Knitting must be an addiction, you've proven it, as have your commenters. I'd better not start.

  10. Those bags of wool were a bargain that no knitter/crocheter could have left behind. In our local charity shops, wool is very expensive and I would expect to be paying about £5 for a bag of that size - and I would probably manage to leave them behind at that price. It is cheaper to buy new than buy in the charity shops here.
