stashbuster goods!

If you remember, one of my New Year's resolutions was to use up some of my stash of yarn before buying more of it. I was only going to do this for January, but I think I'm going to carry it on through March. I don't even feel like I've made a dent in my yarn.

Anyway, here's a picture of what I had made out of my stash through last weekend.

I'm not sure you can see this but I'll give you a breakdown of what's here:

3 sets of fingerless gloves (2 black and 1 gray)

2 owl hats

2 newsboy hats with flowers

8 earwarmers

I've also made 2 additional earwarmers that aren't pictured (because they were sent to a client) so that brings my grand total up to 10 earwarmers. Are you kidding me? I still have sooooooo much yarn left! UNREAL!

I've made more stuff since taking this picture, so I'll post this each week. Hopefully, I can get this yarn stash to go away!

hooot. hoooot. hats. :)

I cannot deny it any longer.

I have a deep affection for owls.

No no no...not the real things. Quite frankly, those little hooters scare the living crap out of me.

No, I love owls in fashion. And I LOVE that they are still all the rage right now. So here's my take on some precious little owl hats. I need to find some cute babies to model these for me. But this is what I've spent the majority of my week on. I love coming up with cute color combinations.
Boys. Girls. Owl hats are perfect for everyone!

I love this one above...because it reminds of my Harry Potter and the colors of Griffendor! :)

Teal sparkly yarn from Hobby Lobby makes my day. Literally. I get excited when I see it. I think I want to do an entire blanket out of this yarn.

Oh enough about the teal sparkly yarn...the raspberry sparkly yarn also makes me happy! :)

So cute. I love these hats so very much!

Happy crocheting!
