Stash busting
My first stash busting attempt was to let my Mom shop in my stash while she was here. So 1.375 yards of red linen was donated to her toothbrush rug she started on the last day here. I even measured it out and tore it up for her use. StashBust01-Toothbrush rug.
Mom's progress in one afternoon.
I also let Mom shop in my yarn stash, giving her some Lopi for knitting with since she wanted to try some fulling after knitting a bag, gave her some bamboo I just got at MDS&WFest, and some more wool and a copy of the pattern for the Tudor Stockings I did for Plimoth so she could turn the last batch of wool into stockings in her spare time. (My Mom is so cool!)
So, a small amount of fabric and yarn liberated to my Mom.
Alas, I've found that I had 10 yards of white linen on a roll in the back of my closet, which is currently in the wash.
