Stashbusting For Good!

[pensnest]

I have made twelve, yes, twelve, Twiddle Muffs.



Much to my annoyance, my Giant Bag Of Buttons has vanished without trace. I have many buttons that could with profit be sewn onto Twiddle Muffs. I have made do with beads, bits of ribbon, and sweetie wrappers.

Your twiddle muffs are amazing, I'm in awe!

[pensnest]

:-D Thanks!

[shipperslist]

I like the colors!

[pensnest]

I have many colours in my stash... :-)

[smallhobbit]

Great way to stash bust!

[pensnest]

It is! I have a *lot* of anonymous balls of yarn, legacy of my time as a Kaffe Fassett knitter, before I learned the joys of tension, really nice yarns, and knowing what I was knitting with. Ahem. But these have made a reasonable dent.

These look so cosy!

[pensnest]

They are a wonderful mixture of yarns, but I rather like imagining little old ladies snuggling their hands into them and fiddling with buttons, etc.

[fleurrochard]

Oooooh, they are so colourful and pretty!

[pensnest]

Thank you!

Your twiddle muffs are awesome! So many fun colours and textures.

[pensnest]

They are very useful knitting projects, as it doesn't matter if you go wrong, and you can just do as you please along the way. :-)

Wow! Looks like a really fun way to go through your stash, and make something useful, too.

[pensnest]

It's easy to watch bad television and knit, too - not much concentration required. ;-)

I had to look up 'twiddle muffs' but they're great and I love the colours!

[topaz119]

Me, too, but now that I know, these are terrific. Very bright and colorful!

[pensnest]

They make fun projects - now I come to think of it, they'd be a great way to teach someone to knit!

[pensnest]

There seem to be lots of charitable-ish projects involving knitting, but I missed my chance to make sweaters for penguins. And these are easy to knit and will be useful.

These look so fun both in the visual and in the texture!

[pensnest]

The texture part is definitely fun, you can have a try at all kinds of different ideas. Contrast is good!

[turps]

Oh wow, that is very impressive.

Though it's sad you couldn't make sweaters for penguins.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/for-the-birds/ suggests that there have, in fact, been too many sweaters knitted for the penguins....
