#stashbusting
Wow. It has been a while… I’m still trying to figure out how to balance my new work life with my knitting and art.
I have been trying to clean out my stash. I have skeins of all sizes of some beautiful yarn and I hate seeing it waisted in my studio. So I decided this combo would make a sweet baby blanket!
Don’t worry I won’t wait a month to update you on how it’s going ;)

I finally managed to finish these socks! They took so long…
I started them before my Australia trip, at the end of July. However, I was so busy on the trip that I didn’t make much progress. Then, when I came back to Canada, I moved to Toronto, started school, and got started on my Christmas knitting (which I enjoyed more than these socks).
However, I really hate having unfinished knitting projects languishing around. It bugs me, and nags at me until I finish them. Plus, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to make myself a pair of socks each month for 2017. I decided I could cheat a bit, and that even though I started these halfway through 2016, I would count them as my January socks if I finished them by the end of January. Thank goodness I did!
While I really like the pattern (Business Casual by TFA), I’m not such a huge fan of cables in general, so these socks took me forever to get through. While the finished pair is beautiful, I won’t be making another pair (which is too bad for some of my family, who were hinting to me how much they liked them!).
Business Casual on Ravelry, made from Manos del Uruguay. I love love love the yarn, will definitely be using it again. Eventually. My other New Year’s Resolution is to severely reduce the size of my stash, so it’ll be a while before I feel like I can buy yarn again without feeling ridiculously guilty.
Worked on using up my yarn stash (with a few new ones in there too!) and using different stitches and patterns. Great therapy. All in DK using a 3.5mm hook and making it up as I went along (with a few pictures as inspiration) #craftastherapy #crochet

Yesterday I have finished and blocked sock yarn crochet blanket which means another 650g of stash yarn have been used up, yay! And now I have cast on for a colour work sweater for my dad from the tweed yarn I have had in my stash for a couple of years now (it was given to me on the cone). I have already used 650g of it to make kids’ hoods I mentioned earlier, and I still have plenty left for a man’s size sweater. The pattern is Narvik by @dropsdesign and it is free! .
