WIP Wednesday: Stash Bustin' Cowl



I promised myself that I'm going to work this year on getting my stash down to a reasonable size. The first stash busting project I've been working on is the Gap-Tastic Cowl by Jen Geigley. The yarn I'm using is Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in Navy, from a frogged Ravenclaw House Scarf. An odd thing I've noticed while going through my Raverly project page, nearly everything I've knitted so far is in navy blue or some other blue tone. Which is weird seeing as my favorite colors are purple and green. I need to change that.

There's really nothing to this pattern at all, cast on the amount of stitches the pattern calls for, then knit in seed stitch for your desired length. With that said, this is taking me much longer than I would like. I started it a few weeks ago, and just haven't been making very much progress on it. But I'll keep at it, and it'll get done eventually.

In other stash related news, I've decided to use an antique dresser to store my stash in. It's great because it's basically just been sitting in the basement taking up space and storing stuff I really don't need anyway. Yes, I've always wanted a reason to have a vintage suit case, but this just wasn't it. I guess I'll just have to put the money I was going to spend on the suitcase towards a vintage typewriter.
