Stash buster continue

This is a fun way to use up your stash. These are my favorite colors, and I made this for Christmas, but I thought it looked so nice that it will stay up there. When you are a knitter or you crochet, then everything that have to do with yarn and needles goes in your home. (That is my apinion)
This is my something pretty pillow. I made it from mostly my stash, but I bought the teal color. I don't really like it, it is so bright. I think it is the teal color that I don't like. That is funny corse that is what I bought. ;)

Yesterday I was done with my posy blanket, and needed something to do, so I found that white sugar'n'cream yarn. I started making a table rug.
And I kept on crocheting, until I saw that it was much to big for a table cloth, so I just kept on making it bigger, and found a noter color in my stash.

I did not finish the pink, but I can not do anything with it, so I am going to toss it. In the end I had this something to have in the kitchen and wipe our hands on. I though it was a good thing to get this out of my box ;)
Then when that was done and I was still in the mood to do something more, I found this yarn.
It is lopi and einband. That is Icelandic wool. I made something out of it that is not finish yet. I will show you when it is done.
This is my dream world, spring and sitting out side with a good friend over a cup of good coffee. I don't know where this picture is from but it is adorable.

  1. I think the wreath is a great idea for all those small balls of yarn :) It suites you and your home so well and I agree, if you are a knitter or a crocheter than your house should showcase your projects.

    Love the dishtowel, very soft and sweet.
    The picture in the end is super cute!

  2. Hello Edda, I am new to stash buster... I absolutely LOVE your reef. Soooooooooo very pretty. BUT I think your Something Pretty Pillow is awesome... and with all the beautiful shades of Pinks I even love it more. Can you tell I am a PINK person. LOL May I ask what was the name of the stitch you put around the border of your pretty pillow. It makes it so much more elegant. Hug Judy
