Yarn: There is one Q colorway in my stash and one Q yarn in my stash - easy choice for this post! This is Quince & Co Chickadee. I had the pleasure of seeing this yarn at the Knitters Review retreat in 2010, early in its release, and I kicked myself for not stashing some… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge Q is for

Yarn: Irish Eyes (by Ceallach Dyes) has held a stash spot for a very long time. It was sent to me as a swap gift and it intimidated me at first. I had not knit anything in laceweight at that point in my knitting career, and the variegated color, though gorgeous, stumped me. Now, years… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge I is for

This particular skein from my yarn stash is Hand Maiden 4 ply Cashmere, 100% cashmere, in the Salt Spray colorway. There are no immediate plans for it, beyond rediscovering… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge C is for

Yarn: Be Sweet T-Shirt - this is made from remnant t-shirts. I love the pops of color in this. This was purely an impulse purchase! 55 yards of a bulky weight means it has stayed in the stash for a while because I didn't know what to do with it. I did grab the free… Continue reading AtoZ Challenge B is for
