I mean, her whole stash! She said a decluttering bug bit her and got all her stash together and asked me if I'd like to have it. Well, I can't say no to yarn!

So a few days ago she brings me this huge bag full of yarn! I mean, it was like Christmas! I immediately emptied it on the floor and went through everything. It was mostly yarn from the 1990's, a lot of cotton and cotton blends but also some acrylics, viscose and wool. I took the time to photograph the yarn I'm going to keep -let's see what was there.

I've been busy knitting for charity lately! You've already seen most of these knits, but the whole of it just looked so good and like "a lot" that I wanted to make a separate post to show these knits.

On the left we have five Calorimetry-headbands in different sizes. Next to them there is a bunch of fingerless mittens, then there are cowls and on the far right, two pairs of socks.

What's missing here are my the squares I've been making for Knit a Square lately. Look for a separate post on those!

Remember last year when I made over 50 squares for blankets for the charity Knit a Square? After so many squares I had enough... but not for forever.

Sagittaria is such a pretty shawl! I still think so, even if it took me months and months to finish one myself.

Don't get me wrong though, it's not the pattern's fault at all. It story goes a little something like this:

For the SOAB 13 swap I knit these Veyla fingerless mittens for my swap partner, who wished for fingerless mittens and likes blueish colours - I think I succeeded pretty well!
