Summer’s on its way, which not only means you’ll be able to take your knitting outdoors, but also that you might have just had a spring clean of your stash. Any annual clear-out usually reveals a vast collection of odds and ends: leftover yarn from long-finished projects; skeins you loved in the shop but don’t know what to do with; and yarn you don’t remember buying but can’t bear to waste! Whatever stray yarn you’ve uncovered, 150 Thrifty Knits will help you turn it into something beautiful. Compiled from Simply Knitting magazine, nearly all of the stash-busting projects here use just 100g of yarn (many use less!). From summery shawls and accessories to wedding themes, homewares, gifts and fun knits for kids, there really is something for everyone. So grab…

SORT YOUR STASH!

The trouble is that after a while it’s easy to forget just what’s in that hoard, never mind making head or tail of it. So, however you choose to store your stash, it’s well worth looking through it now and then. Have a good old rummage, think about which yarns you really like and clear out any you don’t want to use. Life’s too short to knit all the yarn in the world, so it’s definitely…
