I’ve started one of these stash shawls tonite. Thanks so much for the inspiration. I was racking my brain, trying to think of what to use in lieu of a pair of stockings/knee highs (I haven’t any!) and came up with 2 gallon ziplock bags. These are working fine, and since my yarns are mostly in skeins, and I’m using eight strands, I make sure I have no more than four in a bag at a time, to keep the balance. Sounds wacky, but it’s working! :)

I finally made a stash shawl of my own. Thank you for the inspiration and the tips & techniques! If you like, I can send you a link to photos (I have no blog).

I didn’t find a solution to the tangling-balls problem except to put all the balls on my desk. But then they tended to fall off and roll away across the floor…

I loved this so much I made one, too. But I made a little capelet version with the same colors, some thicker textures and a huge orange button. Thank you for the inspiration and the instruction on how to combine different weighted yarns.

Here’s what I ended up doing with the tangled mess — I found two knee high stockings/trouser socks and I have stuffed the balls of yarn that I am not using on either end of the work. Still a little nutty and it is HILARIOUS looking but soooo much better!

I think it’s just the nature of the beast. If you have lots of lightweight balls, try pinning them down with large safety pins. They’ll just stay out of your way until your’e ready for them. (That’s my trick for intarsia–but it’s really only for 10-30g balls, tops, or you risk pulling.)

I am in love with the way this looks! I have started my own but am running into a novice knitter problem — how do I keep all the various balls of yarn (I’m working with about 9 of them) from getting all tangled with each other and wrapped around my knitting? Eek!!
