Oh the beauty and agony of a knitter’s yarn stash! I am alternately thrilled with all the creative and beautiful projects I envision using it up on and tormented by its seemingly exponential growth and mishmash of clashing colors and textures. This is how the Flash Your Stash Shawlette/Scarf was born. It is a very simple (even for a beginner!) bias knit, asymmetrical piece that is garter stitch and knit with 3 strands of DK weight yarn held together. The result is a medium, worsted weight shawlette that you can make as short or long/narrow or wide as you would like. When you run out of one of your yarns, simply add another yarn in its place. Each time you switch one of the yarns, the shawlette will naturally form a new diagonal “stripe”. The border is equally basic and versatile and is formed along 2 of the shawlette’s sides by picking up stitches along one of the sides and then working as many rows of stockinette stitch as you would like. The shawlette you see pictured above used about 600 yards of my yarn stash, and ended up being 5 ½ feet long and 26 inches wide at its deepest point. Have fun being creative and “flashing your stash” since a knitter’s stash is kind of like a mood ring in that it must say something about the knitter’s personality.
