I love this idea! I am in the process of turning my spare bedroom into a craft room (something I have wanted to do for years). Because my stash is currently stored everywhere, I don't actually know how much I have, but I know it's a lot! I also know there is a ton of cotton yarn that I don't want anymore, but because it's buried in the mountain of yarn I have, I have put off looking for it. This challenge is the perfect opportunity and I can't wait to get started. I hope your own challenge is going well for you. Thank you for this video and the challenge itself.

I have 5 kids born in the 80's and they all have jumped on this bandwagon of being convinced that procrastination is the new ADHD, and even trying to convince me that I probably have it too. If you could read minds you could probably read mine on that theory...lol. I think that this idea is a great idea. I actually have 4 projects I need to put in my project book. I try to put in when I start what yarns and colors and what needle size I used on it.

Hi! love this! I just found you while I was desperately seeking for some motivation to confront my stash...it is so out of control I am ashamed to even deal with it let alone share how much yarn is hoarded in my tiny flat...so far what I have started (the steps are at the same time more or less) the first step I took was last year to start a booklet inventory (which is not totally up to date) and to organise it and store as best possible, with lavender, in ziplock bags, in plastic tubs, that are taking up space in my living room under the table...the second step was to stop buying it, which I have started in November 2022 and so far, July 2023 I have bought some yarn once, which I am going to forgive myself for and carry on. The third step is to keep knitting along from my stash. Now moving forward I need to keep up with the no buy, find a way to stay motivated and focused (it's hard when watching knitting podcasts, which are usually what get me into trouble) while seriously downsizing my stash and finishing the inventory. I do not have any in real life knitting community so I mostly connect online through watching YT videos, which makes things harder. I noticed that if I focus on less projects at a time I am more relaxed and focused on finishing things faster, but I do like to start more projects. I am afraid of really tracking how much yarn I have but I do feel very motivated by podcasts of stash busting with numbers of grams/skeins consumed/knitted, so I may try to do that and make it a game rather than a guilt trip...thanks for sharing these ideas! will jot down your monthly challenges and use what I can when I can.

Oh, my goodness! You are a younger version of me!! I love spreadsheets for quick calculations, but writing it down helps me to truly remember what my goals are. (My son told me studies show that writing goals in a color other than black will help you remember. We ignore black print because we see it all the time on our computer screens.) I, too, wish to use what yarns I have and finish projects I started. What good is that beautiful shawl if it's still on the needles? How will those half knit socks keep my feet warm? Why don't I have a pair of mittens?

I love this! Yes, I have to physically write things and I've always preferred blue ink to black (but pick fun colors when that's an option!) I worked at a daycare and we had to fill all our paperwork out in black ink because supposedly it was more "professional" than blue. But blue visually works better for me again the black print.
