Knitting from the Stash

The good news: I haven't bought any yarn lately. The bad news: the reason the yarn stash exists is because I couldn't figure out what to do with it when I bought it in the first place, and so moved on. Fickle, I know. And for a person who likes, no, needs to complete one thing before starting another, it's been bugging me for awhile. So I'm using Ravelry to come up with uses for it. The flip-top mittens I'm working on are from stashed Lionbrand Cashmere Blend (I'm going to have a ball leftover, which I'm now stressed about, I was trying to use it all up). It's a conspiracy, I'm sure of it.

The lace ribbon scarf has another 12" added to it, but since it's supposed to be 80" long when finished, it's going to be a "knit in between projects" project because it gets boring.

I have come up with ideas for the odd leftover balls, I have a book of knitted toys (have to hide them from my youngest, his bed looks like a stuffed animal rescue farm already) that I could knit for charity, there's baby items for charity, mittens, hats, you name it.

We'll see how long I can take this, lacy spring things are calling me...
