Recently, I downloaded a free e-book. It's titled Minimalist Knitter's Handbook, Knitting More While Owning Less. Written by Robyn Devine, this short but informative book is a quick and easy read. In less than forty pages, Robyn encourages knitters to really think about what they enjoy knitting, what kinds of yarn they honestly don't like to use, and how much knitting they realistically do in a three month period. She also guides her readers through how to destash their yarn, needles and patterns. Perhaps most importantly, Robyn gives pointers on how to NOT return to stashing habits once the yarn stash is gone.
While I had already started doing some of the activities Robyn suggested, I found her ideas to be challenging and inviting. I have in the past dumped out my yarn on the guest room bed and separated the skeins in to keep and give away piles, I know I need to do it again. And again. I especially liked her ideas about how to plan projects and keep everything together in one place for the projects. I'll be following many of her other suggestions in the months ahead.
If you are a knitter or crocheter, and you have a stash of yarn that is a little larger than you would like to admit, then I know you'll enjoy reading Minimalist Knitter's Handbook and benefit from following some of Robyn's suggestions.
You can download the book FOR FREE at minimalistknitter. Look for the title of the book on the right side bar of the blog. If you do get the book read it, please let me know! Destash! Minimalize! Enjoy!
