De-Stash December (Stashbust September continues!)

I love thattt awww. The colors are so pretty together!!

Wow that’s so sweet!! Thank you so much :]
I love the look of this sweater, and it’s been in my wishlist for awhile lol. Marie Pullover: Knitting pattern | Ribblr

Haha! I completely understand that, I’m in the same boat​:sob:

I decided to make the dress my take-everywhere project! Mostly because the other projects that I need to get done are either huge or need lots of colors​:sob: Yesterday I even took it to the dentist and worked on it while they cleaned my teeth​:skull: They loved it lol.
It’s not just a trick of the light! The yarn is almost a little bit variegated? I’m in love with the way it looks though!
The sun hasn’t fully risen yet so the photo is a bit dim lol.


I’m really excited about the way the blanket is progressing! It’s hurting my hands, takes forever, and is going to be really hard to finish by Christmas, but I just love it!
Future me will just have to deal with the ends​:skull:
Although I think I’m going to take some soft fabric I have and sew it to the back so it’s smoother and softer at the end!

The brown is Big Twist Posh!! I love it

:rofl::rofl::rofl: Even better! I guess what I mean to say is I think it’s really sweet that she gets to have that level of input and, furthermore, seems enthusiastic to give it; additionally, it must be so cool to have a parent who can magic up just about anything your heart desires. :heartbeat:

Oooh!! Thank you for sharing! The posh one I have doesnt look quite as full/wide as the one in your photo, so I never would have guessed they were from the same line, but perhaps I need to take a closer look! Guess I need to consider getting some other colors if they’re still available by the time I’m no longer on a yarn buying freeze :sweat_smile: - I remember liking a lot of the colors, but they were all sold out when I was shopping. I’m glad you like the yarn; I like it too because it’s a little different than your standard poly/chenille/blanket yarn. They also have Baby Bear (?) yarn that looks similar and I’m really curious about - if you (or anyone reading this) have any experiences with that one would love to hear about them.

I don’t, this was my first time using Big twist posh, and I’ve never tried baby bear. But I love this posh yarn now!

Thank you! I really wanted to use rich autumnal colors for my scarecrow - glad you like them!

That is a really pretty sweater with a unique look, can see why it would catch your interest! Gift sent - please let me know if you haven’t received it!

Smart move to bring the dress with you everywhere - it’s wild how just a row here and there can add up quickly! I know the dentist’s office got a major kick outta that :joy: I love the dedication and am also impressed you managed to knit while you got your cleaning done.

I can see the color even better now - what a lovely yarn! I don’t feel like I see a lot of black yarns with variegation, so it feels even more esthetically pleasing somehow.

And WOW! That is going to be a blanket of epic proportions when you’re all done - the level of detail too :exploding_head: The idea to cover the back with a different fabric is clever, has benefit of hiding any ends that may not cooperate. :smiling_face:

I got the gift, thank you again!!
It’s truly crazy how quick the rows add up!
I worked on it for like 20 minutes each day over 3ish days and I’ve already made so much progress.
Yeah, I really love the ā€œtextureā€ it gives to the dress, instead of just being one flat color!
I seriously can’t wait to finish the blanket​:sob:
I’m so excited for the finished product!!!
And yeah, covering the pesky little ends was part of what led to me deciding to add fabric at the end lol!

I’ve wanted this one literally since I joined Ribblr!!!

(I’m a bit obsessed) :sweat_smile:

That sounds both so cool and a lot of work! No worries about having time to reply all at once, glad to see that everything is well :grin::wink:

That’s so sweet! Feel free to choose the cheapest pattern! (Should be the first one on the list) But since I did get a pattern gifted already no need to gift again

It’s so cute!!! That plush yarn makes it look so soft and cuddly, I love the face details, I’m obsessed!!

The starburst charm definitely was fun to make! I’ll share how it came out at the end of the week :grin:

Thanks for letting me know! I know what I’ll try once I’m done destocking/destashing my yarn​:yarn: :joy:

Ooo now that sounds really cool! The colors would definitely work on amigurumi!

Thank you! Never going to turn down a destash dance party :joy:

It’s not much earlier, but as promised here is the prompt for this upcoming week!

The goal of this week is to make progress on a project that challenges or intimidates you - whether that means trying something totally new, working through a struggle project, or attempting that pattern you’re intimidated by - we are leap-frogging out of our confort zones!

No inspo post this week as it is a very personal prompt, but if you need ideas or more guidance, do let me know!

The bonus prompt asks you whether you’re adventurous with your projects or if you tend to choose the same patterns/types of patterns when you create!

Oooh I’ll have to think about this one

Destocktober results for Oct. 13 - Oct. 19

Here’s how I played with color for this week! I definitely had some fun and ended up making multiple of this pattern they’re so fast to make so I had some fun and tried some things out :grin: used up some unlabeled yarn along with the the same Unlabeled yellow :joy:

Also this isn’t for this prompt but realized I never shared the Moo Deng! I ended up making Moo Deng from the YouTube pattern I’ll probably make my own patterm later when I have the time lol

I’ll make another comment later for the Trick prompt once I decide what to do lol

Gah,i made it with the time frame but forgot to post it here last night. This was my play with colour challenge, i was only allowed to use red/yellow and pink and had to write a pattern for ā€˜something’. I’ll be posting the tester call shortly:

For this weeks, im going to tackle a pair of gloves, i usually make amigurumi and ive never made mittens before.

I’m not sure if this counts, BUT I made this earlier this week, and the webs are glow in the dark green!!! It looks SO COOL, but it’s really hard to get on camera


I’ve never used glow in the dark yarn before, so I’m stoked about the results

I finished the cardigan
Thank you for this topic it helped motivate me

I don’t know how to add the pattern but if allowed can I have the Spencer Scarecrow pattern that you made.
If you have gifted all the patterns you allocated that’s ok too.
I’m grateful for the motivation to finish the cardigan :+1:
