I’ve taken on a few (maybe to many) challenges to help me with my goal of working down my stash. So here’s what I’m planning for them, if anyone has better idea’s or would like to share what they are doing, I would love to hear.
So I have found (by found I mean it was posted weeks ago and I somehow missed it) the next challenge from Craft Challenges,
and I don’t know if I’m relieved or kind of disappointed.
But the Feb challenge is… Stash Busters!
Which is good, but the whole general goal of the other challenge I’m doing is stash busting.
So I’m going to try to do 2 separate projects, but if life gets in the way,
BOOM!
One project, two challenges. And DONE.

My idea’s right now are a Blarf (Scarf + Blanket=Blarf. Am I making this just for the name? Probably.)
and/or Braid Neck Scarf (but there’s no pattern available so I will have to wing this one.)

Speaking of the other challenge, Cold Sheep added a quarterly project Bust-a-Long.
If you don’t do reddit, I’ll sum it up here.
“From now until April 30, your challenge is to knit that project you’ve been meaning to make but just haven’t gotten around to. Perhaps it’s a sweater? Or a baby blanket for your friend’s now-toddler? Or maybe you’ve had your eye on a lacy shawl since you started knitting but you haven’t felt up to the charts. Whatever it is, now is the time to get knitting!”

I’m thinking I’m going to try doing the Ombre Cowl from the Purl Bee.
I’ve wanted to do it forever, and after I spent some time poking through projects others have completed, I think have some idea’s for yarn I can use. Yarn that is all from my stash!

I just read the Cold Sheep’s monthly challenge and I’m kind of relieved. I think I’ve got this one in the bag.
“This month, in honor of Valentine’s day, your challenge is to knit something – anything, with any yarn – for someone else.”
I have a pile of yarn all ready to go to make a forsaken themed hat for my fiancé, all of it from the stash.

And just to keep things interesting, I’ve signed up for the Reddit knitters group Febuary Knit-a-Long. I’ve joined team Oddity.

I’m going to use some Knit-picks fingering I bought with no plan. Buying things with no plan is an issue I hope this whole thing helps address.

All right it’s about time I get to some knitting right?
