Isnāt that odd how that happens? Itās like I donāt even like this yarn, how did I get here? 
But luckily DK is a great yarn weight for so many different projects!
What daughter wants, daughter gets! You were in the spirit of making a wearable, so you get full points from me for this week 
And thatās a fabulous way to use up the yarn even faster - the bag sounds super cute, too! Excited for a pattern!
(Donāt tell, but I also pull from both ends at once. 
)
No worries! Hope youāre feeling better!
I hope youāre feeling better, if not already then soon! That sounds like such a bummer about the skein 
Was probably a good call to just knot it back together instead of trying to keep detangling. A big gold star for you for even trying, haha.
Thatās amazing news about the skein progress, though! A happy surprise indeed! Glad you were able to cake it up and it looks like it will be easy breezy going forward!
Youāve been busy this week! Iām amazed you even got that far on your project with a pattern test, as well! I feel your pain, truly - I hope you got some stitching time in.
Also this just goes for everyone, but please no one feel pressured to finish your prompt project and post it by the end of the week. Obviously thatās fantastic if you are able to finish, but itās not a requirement to participate. Just wanted to throw that reminder in here for anyone tuning in later. ^.^ The prompts are mostly just to get inspo and keep things fresh, but youāre welcome to post the results/wips of your destash projects at any time. <3
Itās been so fun for me to check in here and see what everyone is working on - thanks a bundle to everyone participating!
(And thank you, Kaylee! The antibiotics are starting to do their job, so Iām hopeful. 
)
Goodness, that is unfortunate you were laid up/unwell so long; I hope youāre on the mend now. 
As disagreeable as the yarn may be for you on a sensory level (which I def understand 
), I have to say that is a glorious colorway (only a little biased because it has several of my fave colors in it, haha) - I can see why you would have gravitated towards it! A basket seems like a clever way to use it, too. Look like youāre already making great progress!
Oh this came out so lovely! The stitching is really nice and the star tie/dangles are absolutely adorable - my sister would flip her lid for something that cute! Great work!
WOW! You did a lot of work in a little bit of time! Itās coming along fabulously - canāt believe this is your first wearable - well done!
@LoafOfBread Youāre our first winner! Yay! 
Let me know if you want me to just pick a random pattern from your wishlist or feel free to respond with a link to one you want! <3
Thank you to all of you who joined in this week; it was a highlight of my days to see your projects and goals. I will try to get the next prompt posted later tonight, but it will definitely be posted by tomorrow, as will the inspo post!
I apologize for not being as active as intended this week; I had a lot going on with some health issues, starting a new job, and finishing up my first pattern, so I was a bit distracted. 
I did end up starting the shawl I talked about, but I only made a few rows of progress. Will definitely share as I make more headway, though. 
Thank you! I did actually finish it on time (on Saturday) but forgot to post the pic
woah thank you so much!! i think i would want this pattern as itās been on my wishlist for months

Thanks aha it genuinely took almost the whole day to do glad the antibiotics are kicking in! Iām not sure if Iām getting better but I believe I found out why Iām under the weather (black mold in my AC, I have to sort that all out) assuming thatās whatās making me sick Iāll definitely get better soon lol just a good time for anyone who owns an AC to occasionally look at your AC to make sure itās just circulating good clean air into your room 
Congrats to the winner!
Sounds like you also had a lot going on, excited to see about the first pattern! Also to see the shawl progression! 
Clearly yesterday did not go as I intended, haha, had a bit of a regression with my illness.
However Iām here to share this weekās prompt as promised (though the monthly calendar is available on the first post if ever Iām delayed again).
This week the focus is on decoration and/or functionality. Although listed as Home Goods/Decor, it really applies to any space one occupies.
(Iāll be updating/formatting this post once I have access to a computer, but I wanted to give you all the prompt at the very least.)
oooh maybe Iāll finally make the coasters Iāve been contemplating making
Great choice, Loaf! Im going to see if I can gift on my computer (mobile giving me issues with gifting at the moment).
Also yesss so many fun options for coasters!!
oh thank you! i sorta forgot about it lol
Oh that came out fantastic!!! I will eagerly be awaiting the release!
Oooh I should make a pillow with some fuzzy yarn I have
Iāll be destashing from my: Yarns
My goal(s): To get rid of some of my unlabeled yarn
The Project: I want to make a placemat or desk/shelf cover for a shelf so it looks nice. Itāll be simple just a square/rectangle and I plan to use the shell stitch for it
Yarn(s): A black yarn that unfortunately I lost the label to and canāt remember what it was, I have several yarns like that and want to destash them since I honestly have no clue what it is lol if I have to guess itās a weight 4 yarn
Crochet hook: Iāll be using a Boye H-5.00mm
Also I did manage to finish the knit shawl from the first week, and all three skeins! Itās too long to take a photo but I did get a photo of it folded. Here it is!
I just need to weave in all the yarn ends but itās done! Probably have to block it to make the back longer. The border even if I didnāt manage to get a good photo of it looks beautiful!
Iām debating whether I should make several home/office decor since Iām sure Iāll get this done today, the only issue is finding a place for it lol
My go to yarn is probably worsted weight specifically Bernat super saver yarn but honestly I can be a bit experimental since if itās on sale Iāll gravitate towards it Also the examples are great! Giving me ideas not only for the prompt but gift ideas for others I havenāt thought of!! Sorry to hear about the regression of your illness!
First September destash (week 1-7)
Iāll be destashing from my: WIPs and Yarns
My goal(s): To finish the WIP and/or finish the skeins for this WIP
The WIP: A knit shawl , hereās the current photo from my WIP. Click here for pattern on YouTube
Yarn(s): Lion Brand - Boogie Nights in High Roller (3 skeins)
Iām still on the first skein. Itās hard to capture the color of the yarn, but it does feel soft, this yarn is solely for the WIP so hopefully itās the exact amount! Or at the very least whateverās leftover is enough to make something else
Needles: Using Susan Bates circular knitting needles US 11/8.0mm - 24 inch/61 cm
Iāll for sure update when I finish the shawl or at the end of the week, maybe when I finish a skein and show some progress to see how far along that skein went
So some updates with some bad and good news 
First hereās my first comment with my info all in the summary for those interested

So bad news: Iāve been a bit under the weather so I havenāt done as much as I would like and I actually spent almost the entire day trying to go through one of the skeins since it was a tangled, knotted mess 
I ended up having to cut some of the yarn and knot them back together since it was starting to get a bit thin with all the moving to untie it
The good news!! I actually thought I was on my 1st skein of three turns out it was actually my second skein! I just finished it so Iām on my third and last skein! I managed to untie all the knots and cake it up so while I will have to weave in the ends of the knots itāll be smooth sailing! And while it is a bit thinner (not much) it does mean itās a bit longer now too lol I also tested a pattern yesterday and finished one skein of unused chenille yarn that I planned to destash so thatās good! Since the wearable prompt ends tomorrow Iāll probably share the final photo at the end of the day, hopefully I can finish it today or tomorrow! Really want my knitting needles back lol
Also I love reading and seeing what everyone else is up too!
I promise to respond to everyone tonight after work! I had my first non-training day and was wiped last night, but the rest of the month should be better! I hope youāve all been doing well. Iāve curated some Home Goods/Decor ideas for you who are still thinking (like me )! Better late than never right?
As usual, you donāt need to use any of these patterns (though youāre ofc welcome to do so), but they are just inspiration for this weekās prompt!
Finally achieving normalcy after what feels like a couple weeks of yuckiness. Thank you for the kind words. I hope youāre on the mend and have got things sorted on your end - black mold is no joke!
Your shawl came out beautiful! 
Iām eager to see your (various) home goods makes! Shell stitch is gorgeous- Iām sure it will look really nice in your space!
Great idea destashing unknown yarns in your collection - SMART way to keep things more organized in your current stash! I havent worked with Bernat super saver, but it is on my to-try list! I feel you on hitting up that sale section. 
Iām glad the examples are helpful! I know myself I have a tendency to just think of a handful of things wrt to home goods, but there are SO MANY options, and I wanted to share those with you all!
LOVE this idea! I just came across a vanilla bean cat (? Maybe bunny?) pillow that would look so cute in a fuzzy yarn! But honestly I think any pillow would be cute with that fluffy texture!
