Trimming the Stash

This week is one of those weeks that happens to me a couple of times a year when I just feel like I've got too much yarn. I know there's not really such a thing, and that if I stopped buying yarn now I'd only have enough to get me through a couple of years rather than the rest of my life, but still.

Whether you're feeling the pinch of the economy so you want to use what you have or you just want to use what you have, I've put together a list of some stash busting patterns and books that might inspire you to go through your stash and find some bits of yarn to use.

There are projects big and small, from headbands to afghans of any size that can use as much of your extra yarn as you want. I hope they inspire you to look at what you've got in a new way -- not just as extra insulation for the house but as plenty of fodder for fresh projects.
