I have a huge beautiful stash and feel absolutely zero guilt. Why? Because I am supporting small businesses and artisans, folks who are following their dreams, something I wish I was brave enough to do. I love that I can use my extra resources to support fiber artists, farmers, shop owners (so many women!) and get something beautiful in return. My stash brings me pure JOY!
Buying yarn and using yarn are 2 totally different hobbies. You do not need to defend yourself when it comes to your stash. I’m pretty sure that 90% of your stash has some sort of memory associated with it. So just enjoy it for what is and also what it will become. Im excited to see where this year will Bering you on your knitting journey.
that’s so true! a lot of the yarn have memories and travels attached to it and that’s wonderful but I feel very content with it right now and don’t want it to become overwhelming which is also why I’m planning to knit with it as I am ☺️ plus I was all bought with intentions and plans in mind and I do want them to come to life as well!
Stash. It is such an individual thing. I have an extensive stash which I am very happy to have. I downsized my entire life, but the stash has come along (knitting, spinning, weaving and sewing). When I was young, I could only buy beautiful yarn if I found it in a deep sale bin. I would buy as much as I could in the lightest color I could find knowing that I could always over-dye it later. As I got older and my career gave me more disposable income, I continued buying beautiful yarns and tucking them away. I considered it a yarn-y retirement account. Now that I am retired, I don't have as much disposable income and the price of these yarns is only going up, so I am dipping into my stash heavily, rather than buying more. It is probable that I have achieved SABLE, but I am very grateful to my former self for having the forethought to consider what I might or might not be able to afford in my retirement. Anything leftover once I'm gone will be split up between my daughter and my best friend's daughter, who both knit, crochet and weave. Yes, some would look at it and consider it overconsumption. Isn't the saying, "What other people think of you is none of your business."? To everyone out there, take that saying to heart. No one knows your circumstances or motivation beside you. Don't worry about the judgy people.
thank you so much for saying this!! I very much connect to your explanation for building a stash since I believe it has been influenced by my childhood and having grown up in somewhat poor circumstances as well 🫶🏼 and the saying is a really important thing to keep in mind for sure! (:
So true Marlene! A stash is super personal. I am just getting into knitting, but I have been a sewer for about 16 years, and my collection of notions and fabric was huge. I have recently let go of so much to make way for my new style and projects that make me more excited. There is no point holding onto anything that doesn't excite you when it takes so much time to make things. Thanks for sharing your make 9 with us!
So glad to have found your channel. For the past 3 years, I have kept a count of the projects I have completed. I have tried each subsequent year to better that count. The problem with my doing this was that I didn’t stop buying more yarn. I do like your idea of doing 9 out of my own stash, and will do that now. So happy to have a new goal, with using up my stash! And not buying more yarn!
I've been working on my first pair of selbu mittens (the speedy ones you showed too) while watching! handmadebyflorence has really inspired me this past year :)
Firstly I want to say I love your videos, you have such a calming energy! The buttons you found for your cardigan are perfect, I can't wait to see your progress on it. I was swatching for my Wool & Honey sweater which I've wanted to make since I started knitting nearly 5 years ago and I'm so excited to finally make it!
Loved the video as always so thanks for that. I've enjoyed watching it while working on my Torrin scarf test knit :) I can't wait to see your version of the book club cardigan. I've been thinking recently about maybe making it too...
@@marleneknits yes :) I'm into lots of small project at the moment and accessories. Trying to narrow down my choice for my next garment knit. Either Kerr also by Rebecca or Ingrid by Petiteknit
Yay, it is 15K now! Congratulations! I love your videos so much, thank you for keeping us company while we knit :) I am knitting Sandnes Garn Marius ladies sweater in Peer Gynt while watching your 2025 plans.
Love how you shared a make 9 from stash, your plans are really thought out. I made a make 9 for the autumn and have carried some of the projects over this year with wool from my stash. I personally have a love/dislike relationship with my stash; it’s good to knit with it but also nice to continue spontaneous creativity by adding in a few new skeins & projects too. I’m currently making the same scrappy blanket you are, not quite as far along. I’m always trying to find ways to use my scrappy leftovers. Thank you so much for sharing your knitting journey and taking time to create content for us 🤎🧶
@@joshuahollykindness9168 that also sounds like a great way to go about it and I totally agree, sometimes you just want to be very spontaneous and get swept up by the creativity 🥰 thank you!
Marlene, I just love your podcast! What a great episode. I'm so excited about your 2025 goals and plans. All of your yarn and fiber are beautiful. You definitely have a wonderful stash to work from. ❤🧶
Schaue deinen Podcast heute vom Krankenbett aus. War wieder eine tolle Begleitung, auch wenn ich nicht gestrickt habe. Mein Freund hat auch mit geschaut und wir bewundern jedes Mal deine Haare. Die sehen immer fantastisch aus. 🌻
This is the sign for me to start the Six of Daisies ❤ I loved your plans! I’ve already made the Poet scarf (knitted to a shawl size) and the Book Club Cardigan
I love this video (all your videos - you’re my favorite UA-camr) but this one especially. I love your conversation around stash. I am at a point I feel a bit overwhelmed by my stash. It’s not as big as a lot of my yarn friends, BUT it is probably a couple of years worth of stash for me since I have a demanding full time job that means I don’t get to spend as much time knitting as I’d like. This year, I want to work from stash as much as possible. That said, 1) I am definitely a product knitter over process knitter so when I make something it really needs to be something I will love and want to wear rather than something to make just for fun, and 2) I think that due to poor math skills I have a lot of ALMOST garment quantities… so I know that in order to be able to use my stash AND have end products I really enjoy I will need to buy yarn lol. So my goal is mostly only buying small quantities of supplemental yarn to make patterns with what I already have. That said, since it’s going to be nearly impossible to find matching yarn… I think supplemental purchases mean this will be the year of color work and stripes for me 😂 On the same note, I am going to Rhinebeck this year finally and since I know I will want to go crazy because that’s not something I can do every year, I want to make sure that I go in with some pattern plans to make sure I am buying with a product goal, getting the right yardage, and not be influenced to buy, buy, buy just because I can. I have no problem if I go crazy… I just want to make sure it’s with a plan and thought out crazy, not just because I can 😂 I hope I will see you at Rhinebeck and can’t wait for all your 2025 videos. Your vlog content and podcasts are always so great and I can’t wait to follow along with all the beautiful things you make and how successful you are as a human and maker this year!
I love how you’ve figured out all these things about your life and your making, I believe that’s incredibly valuable and I totally agree, going planned out crazy at rhinebeck is an option! I’ve already knit though half the yarn I bought there last year and I love all the plans that are still to come 🥰 I really hope to be back this year and wish you a fulfilling year of making - thanks so much for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts! 🧡✨
I just cast on the sweet shop blanket as well. Great project to use up my random skeins. I also am working on saying no. I try to think of it this way when deciding "what are the things i want to say no to but say yes?". In terms of your stash I think you have quite a healthy approach to it. For someone who works at a yarn shop and does knitting content, it makes sense for you to have a big stash. You don't need to justify it. A stash is indeed a personal choice and up to each of us to decide. Personally I am a beginner knitter and it is a hobby for me. I don't have a stash really. Just leftover skeins. It's because I don't have the budget for it as well I change my mind a lot on the pattern and yarn choice: ) So I plan just for my next project and buy yarn specifically for that.
yes and thank you Jane ☺️ I find it all very interesting - the reasons behind someone’s choices in any way really but especially when it comes to our favorite craft 😌
I don’t like having a stash - at least I haven’t got a taste for it, yet. I prefer getting yarn for the next project I have in mind and then casting that on more or less immediately 🙂. Sometimes I get a souvenir yarn, but usually for something small, like socks. ☺️ One reason is that I haven’t tried that many yarns yet and maybe one day I fall in love with one kind of yarn and then wouldn’t cherish my past stash anymore.
I definitely have SABLE but I’m ok with it as I am a lot older than you🕉. I do like your thoughtfulness and your planning which will help me accomplish more.
I think everyone should have whatever stash makes them happy. Personally, I have a lot of yarn I got when I first started knitting and before I developed a knowledge of what I like. So I hope to de stash those things that I don’t love. Moving forward, I’m hoping to only have sweater quantities for projects I am ready to knit and knit through the couple I have that were lingering. I want to have a minimal stash of accessory yarn so I feel free to buy special yarn a festival or something and can use it without ignoring a bunch of other hat quantities. And I plan to continue to give myself mostly free rein to buy sock yarn. I typically keep a couple on the needles at all times and could not possibly have too many 😂 my goal is to make 24 pairs this year! Other knitting goals are to finish my blanket project from 2023 and a cardigan from summer 2024.
could you tell me the name of your book about stash? I couldn’t read it and couldn’t find on your description. Thanks so much. I agree with you that each person’s stash is so personal and tailored to their own lives. Great plans for 2025. I can’t wait to see what you will do 💖✨🧶
I think that all of the colors you choose for your makes are so up your alley, especially the Astrid sweater. 😍 I know Andrea Mowry hosts the March to May KAL, maybe you could plan to work on your Tessellated cardigan during that time? Though, I can’t recall if she releases a new pattern for that KAL, I’ll have to check. Funnily enough, while watching this video, I was working on my Tessellated vest that I just cast on last night. I have other WIPS that I should work on but tbh, this vest hast been in my queue for a hot minute, lol.
thank you so much!! 🧶🤎 that’s a really nice idea, thank you for sharing it with me, I might just do that - I think part of the reason why I haven’t worked on it a ton anymore is because I wish my main color was a bit darker but I’m also so curious to see how it’ll turn out 🥹 haha we all know the feeling!
@ Of course, happy to share! Hope the timing works out and I encourage you to keep going but I also understand when a project isn’t vibing, lol. I’m in the same boat atm. 😅 Good luck! 🤎
Yarn stash is very personal. My family doesn’t understand my stash. But my mom only knits socks with one color or a self striping yarn. I do quite a bit of color work beanies and socks. So I have a lot of 1+ skeins of colors. I only have 2 sweater and 3 short sleeved tops quantity. I don’t think that’s too bad. Especially I got all of that during awesome sales. I did purge quite a bit. I decided to be honest with myself and went through what I had and tossed everything that I had for 2-5 years. Does it still speak to me? No? Toss it. I put it in my neighborhood group for free and it was gone in a few minutes. I still have a box less of yarn now and I have plans for sweaters and tops with what I have. But then honestly what yarn we have is no one’s business. It brings me joy.
@@amandacrane8560 yess 100%! that’s what I’m always telling people who are curious about my stash especially in my personal life: other artists also keep supplies for their work/art so why wouldn’t knitters and crocheters? a painter wouldn’t use up all their kobald blue color before getting a periwinkle pot to finish another painting like that’s not how it works 🤭
You do you, I wouldn’t want that much to deal with lol I dont knit that fast. It would make me feel rushed and more anxiety and that’s what I come to knitting to get away from
Lovely plans! Do you know the youtube channel Arne & Carlos? They do a lot of traditional Norwegian and Scandinavian knitting, and if I remember correctly the've made a video about a Selbu Mittens museum, in front of a wall with amazing Selbu mittens!

Enjoyed! I had a goal of using stash last year. Still have more to use. I was knitting on the Stained Glass Cowl/Ponchette by Angela Grillmeier while watching today. It's a fun easy color work knit. It's nearly completed. I think it will be easy to wear with a lot of outfits. It's not like anything I have. I love your goal of not carrying anything through from 2024 into 2026. Now I have set it for myself!

That sweatshirt you’re wearing- I see coffee cups and maybe- when it rains we pour? Not sure what it says but I’m wondering where you found it.
