Stash Dash

Stash Dash is a thing being run by the Knit Girllls podcast people. From what I gather the aim has been to use up 5000m of stash over the summer. I am coming rather late to the party, but in light of my recent alarming discoveries around the sheer quantity of my stash, I have decided to have my own personal stash dash.

My plan is to use up - either knitting, weaving or spinning, 5000m of yarn between now and the 16th of October that is my goal. I am not going to make any yarn-purchasing restrictions, except to say that I will embark on a period of mindful yarn purchases. That is to say, I will not buy something just because it is shiny. I have a tendency to buy yarns in bright gorgeous colours without any consideration of how I might wear items knitted from it.

So this is my plan, and I will update here as I go along! I am hoping this will also help me make decisions about some long-term works in progress and either finish them or accept that I am going to abandon them.
