I keep getting error messages when I try and add a photo but I found a skein each sparkly red and sparkly white yarn so made a hat with a pompom. It's a bit Where's Wally meets The Grinch but never mind! I think I could make at least another one with what I've got left.

I love the sound of it

Morning all,

Its great so many of us have joined this challenge already. Lets see how much stash we can bust  

I've made another card so my total is now 8/2024 - why do I always set my targets so high

Ta dah! A bit more open than I'd like but I put that down to cheap yarn.

Hi there

I’ve finished my first project - nothing too taxing, just a pair of fingerless mitts; however, that’s 1x50g ball of Sidar country classic DK that’s no longer in my stash!

I might make a pair for myself, as these were for my mum, though I’ve just cast on a sock, so I’ll wait until I have finished them.

i must, say, there’s a few lovely items posted already, I’ve enjoyed having a wee look and am currently looking through last year’s posts for some inspiration.

bamboo_socks - great hat.
SandandShells - lovely mitts.
I have spent on a craft order today and revised my yearly allowance. I put on another thread about having a discretionary fund amount each month like Frugal Queen in Fr.....  Mine will sometimes be spent on craft bits.
I am also justifying my spend - to make cards to raise funds for my SA Corps.

Made 4 multicolour granny squares towards my winter jacket. Have just finished the 25g ball of orange. I don’t have as much yarn as I thought I did so mum is sending me her odd balls so I can get my jacket made. 

Looking forward to Saturday as it’s a PJ day (apart from a delivery) then I am 100% finishing my comforter and getting it on the bed. Will be so happy when it’s done. Sadly, I don’t have any left overs to make pillow shams - I think I only have four of the right colour squares left. 

I am loving seeing what everyone is making, really lovely things and so motivational too. Really helps with ideas of what I can make.

Have a great Friday all x

Great to see progress being made. 
Love those knitted items - it makes me want to learn to knit even more now so this may be the year I try and learn

Count me in please 🙏 I will have to catch up on posts soon. 

Hoping for a better 2024 and maybe even a little bit of space to do some crafting. Either way I see a big declutter on the horizon!
