Q: What is your process when planning a project? Do you shop for yarn and then find a suitable pattern? Do you find your pattern and then go out to buy the yarn? Or are you stash-busting? If your stash is out of control, how did it get that way?
I’m not sure I have a set process, but looking back I think I’ve found a pattern first and then tried to find yarn. I’d like to say I was stash busting, but a lot of the yarn I have has been bought with things in mind, so usually a new pattern means I get to buy more yarn. Maybe that’s why I have so many WIPs. I have 2 stowaway boxes that contain my ‘knitting things’ and yes my mum would probably say my stash was out of control but looking and listening to what other knitters have to say, I think my stash would be considered small.
