You guessed it! YARN!
Next weekend, I plan to unbox my stash and organize it, using the method I laid out in my first book, “Untangled.” I’ll report back in next week’s newsletter and share the results, in case it might inspire you to do the same.

Isn’t that the way it always is? Always darkest before the dawn. And of course, once I found it, there were immediate signs…

And for my paid Substack subscribers, I’m sharing one of my favorite stash-busting Knit Stars original patterns this week, the Starry Starry Scarf. It has both knit and crocheted versions. Find it and the rest of this post on our Substack here.
