March comes in like a Lion & goes out like a Lamb, they say; a Wild & Wooly lamb, probably! ????????????
Is your yarn collection StaBLE? You know, “STAsh Beyond Life Expectancy?”

If you have a Ravelry Account, did you know that you can do a Search for stash use ideas by entering “ stash” in the ???? box? It’ll even look for patterns matching stash yarn you’ve included in your Ravelry notebook.
Good stash-busting projects include knitting or crocheting mittens/fingerless mitts, hats, socks/slippers, scarves, baskets, baby & dog sweaters, dolls, cowls, bags, afghans, etc.
Some popular stash busters include:
