Stash Buster

It is always a great day when Stephen West has a new pattern. I have a ready made post. 

This rectangular scarf is the perfect stash buster. Always hold two strands of fingering weight yarn together or mix in some lace weight mohair silk or suri alpaca yarns too. The instructions include detailed notes on how to blend your leftover yarns and single skeins together to achieve smooth melted color transitions. Choose between a classic narrow scarf size or follow instructions for the wide wrap as you melt and fade you colors together. There are three simple textures and chevron/wave variations repeated throughout the fabric to keep you engaged and motivated to reach each new section. Make the scarf as long as you want and enjoy knitting this wearable work of art!

Think of the fun you can have over the holidays playing in your stash!!

My only complaint with Stephen’s shawl is that he didn’t use enough purple!! 😘






Stephen has a new workshop called Color Play the Westknits Way - Marling. If you purchase the workshop you will receive the patterns. You can purchase the patterns without the workshop on Stephen’s website.


Mr. FedEx came this morning and we have new books.
Here is a link to the books on the website.

I couldn’t help myself. Another Inclinations Shawl jumped onto my needles. This is the Maple colourway. Now a bit of knitting. Survivor is taping along with Baking It and The Masked Singer.
