Between updating my destash tally and cataloging my stash in ravelry, I decided to destash a bit. I’ve got to cross some things off my list before I mosey over to the other half of my stash cupboard, where I may find some more goners. If I were more industrious/had more time, I’d make all [...]

The culling has begun. This is a new form of procrastination, brought on by bills. Hurrah! My list of destash stuff I’m selling. If I’m still procrastinating tomorrow (does the Pope wear a funny hat?) & I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll add more. I’ve got crap interior light, so photos are pointless at night. Thumbnails:

They’ve also got Noro Silver Thaw on sale for [...]
