Scrappy Stitchers Link Party #2
We had 3 lovely entries in last week’s link party – not bad for the first week, but let’s see if we can get more this week! For now, I’m doing away with the weekly theme idea, so anything (family friendly) goes. First, let’s look at our entries from last week – they were all very close in views, so I’m highlighting all 3: Mayapple Flower Square by Underground Crafter Missy Cowl by Jessie at Home Kid’s Snowflake Hat by Sarah E. White Now it’s your turn Remember, any fiber related project you’ve made is fine – it does not have to be your own design and you don’t have…

Stashing on Ravelry
Today, I am sorting through and organizing all the new yarn I got on my trip to the Knit and Crochet show. There’s a lot of it, and like many of you, I already had a lot at home! Without some way to manage it, I would never remember what I have. Luckily, once again, it’s Ravelry to the rescue. I use the “stash” feature to keep track of it all, and I’ve found that really helpful. As soon as yarn enters my home (ok, within a couple of weeks, at least), I enter it into my stash. That way, I always know exactly how much I have of each yarn, including dye…
