Black Friday Knitting

Black Friday is soon approaching.  Many people will be camping out in their cars the night before to get those doorbuster deals as soon as the mall doors opens. Others will be up until midnight to be the first to cash in on those online sales.

I've never been one to dive into the fray and fight the crowds. I get enough of that just trying to get a salted caramel hot chocolate from Starbucks on a Monday morning.

No 'one day sales' for me. Instead of busting down doors, I plan to do some stash busting instead. What better way to spend the busiest shopping day of the season then playing with yarn at home?

I've been going through a few patterns that are great stash busters. What's even better is that these patterns are all free!

Stashbuster Scarf by Sarah Anderson

This crocheted scarf is a wonderfully quick way to burn up those small balls of yarn from previous projects. This project also doubles as a last minute holiday gift.

Riot Shawl by Sandra Paul

Who can resist a good looking shawl, especially when you can reduce your stash of odds and ends at the same time? I adore this shawl and love the fringe. I may have to buy some more yarn just to have an excuse to knit this.

Hawaiian Flowers by Sarah London

I can really see making these flowers throughout the year and piecing them together to make a colorful blanket. All those lovely colors can easily chase away any winter blues.

Anyone else plan on spending Black Friday knee deep in yarn?
