One of the most pleasant aspects of knitting is to give a new life to yarn leftovers and what we have in our stash! It is not rare to have a perfect skein sit in the yarn cabinet for years, or precious small balls from previous projects. The “Upcycling Your Stash” series was created to stimulate creativity, to experiment with different techniques to create a knitting piece with what we have!

A crochet hook and small amounts of colorful yarns can transform our knits! It is not only a fashion trend, but a way to make our knits unique, adding color and texture. In this class we will make the most of this cool technique, adding an extra flair to knitting stitches, such as lace, slip stitches, cables, and beyond!
