This week Gayle and I recorded in a
different location and there might be a few spots in the recording
where you can hear the whirr of the local surfboard business. Just
a little local flavor as you can't go very far in Santa Cruz
without passing a surf shop, or a taqueria, or a yoga studio.
Sometimes all three in our casual beach town. :)
We discuss the first quarter (Q1) of our #loveyourstash movement.
We met our goals and (surprisingly?) stayed with it. For me at
least, who dislikes anything that smacks of obligation knitting.
Fortunately, my goals didn't involve knitting or finishing of any
specific project so perhaps that helped make it workable. Congrats
to all of you who are moving towards a stash you can live with and
love.
Our second quarter (Q2) threads are open and you can post a goal in
the "
goals" thread, and chat about all
things stash in the "
chat" thread. Remember, to
#loveyourstash means different things to different folks. For some
it means owning less yarn, while for others it means having a plan
for your yarn. However you choose to stash, moving towards a
well-curated stash that fits your storage, budget, and knitting
style is a workable goal with the support of friends. Remember to
use the hashtags #yarniacs and #loveyourstash for your social media
needs so that we can all find what you are doing and support each
other towards loving the stash!
