Stash-Buster #6 - A Rainbow of Dishcloths

Pattern found in my Etsy shop here:

.

It's all about putting the stash in a color order that makes sense. :-)

Who'da thunk it?

We love these because they have a built-in germ defense system...you see... they can be rinsed and wrung out and then the loop fits on the faucet to hang dry.

So once again it's all about the stash:

WARNING:

This is not the end of the dishcloth stashbusting...

Stay tuned.

Stash-Buster #5 - The Rockman Afghan Finish

The Rockman Afghan has been patiently waiting to be finished...

...it had been calling out to the stash bin for help, 

but the stash bin had been ignoring it...

tragic!

Until now...when the Rockman Afghan called out extra loud and the stash bin heard...

and complied...

the stash bin catapulted this navy yarn into the arms of the assistant, 

and this is how it all went down: 

The navy yarn teamed up with the IKEA  Fleece Throw Blanket. 

(So soft and yummy!)

Something really sharp was needed for little cuts, so the hair cutting shears

 (ooowwwww don't tell anyone, as it I may have dulled them) were just the ticket.

 (It was all in the name of crochet , ya' know.)

The photos below show the marriage of these items.

To be quite honest, the Rockman Afghan was never really finished ...you see..I was not too keen on the way the back looked; upon laundering many ends peeked through a bit. 

Yucky, Messy!

Linda and Cogaroo, who followed the Rockman Afghan CAL, knew what was going on, 

as they were clever enough to have made their 

project into a pillow, where the back and pesky ends were hidden. 

Smart ladies!

So this is where the cuddly soft "IKEA Irma Fleece Throw Blanket"came to the rescue. 

It was sitting in the "projects to make one day" bin, 

longing to be partnered up with something from the "stash-bin".

In any case, the Ikea Throw was almost the exact size needed...a few inches were cut off each side.

It was a match made in heaven.

The Rockman Afghan is living happily ever after

with its new partnerships.
