Crochet Fun: A Stashbuster

A couple of months ago I wanted to make something. I’m always busy doing something but I’m always looking for something else.

But there’s always criteria to my creations.

I prefer projects that use up existing stuff.

I prefer projects that recycle.

I prefer projects that are useful or purposeful.

I prefer projects that keep me busy.

I prefer projects that produce results fairly quickly.

I prefer projects that are portable.

Not the most achievable set of expectations.

I scoured my crochet books and magazines and then I found it.

The perfect stash buster.



This amazing pattern by Heather Cawte was exactly what I needed. All criteria fulfilled.



It was very easy to make.

So much so I’ve since made five.





This is technically the second one.



The first one was three metres long.



I’ve got a new obsession. All of these have around forty rows of yarn. The most of these are from left overs, donations, scrap or charity shops.

It’s amazing what can be done with rubbish!
