A Stash-Busting Scissor Swap
So the Hat City Scissor Squad had our first official Scissor Swap Tuesday evening at Michelle's house. What a freakin' blast!!!! We had snacks,WINE, and tons and tons of craft supllies and books spread over a few tables.....
This was a super opportunity to clean out my stash!!! I brought a ton of fabric and all the yarn that I knew I wasn't going to dedicate to a project. Anne brought a huge bag of cotton chenille that we all quickly ate up, and another bag full of beautiful yarns and fabrics! She was the stash-busting queen, hands down - as she departed Michelle's that night with just a shoe box full of her finds.... The rest of us .... did not show that kind of restraint. :)
Here we are in action....
And here's what I came home with....
3 balls of Plymouth Kick (SOOOO FUZZY! Sure to be a comfy hat....), a skein of hot pink fuzzy acrylic (I am such a sucker), some pretty faery colored Red Heart (why not?), my share of the cotton chenille (legwarmers, here I come!) and a couple pieces of fabric for some summer tops.... And some beeswax and flavor oils.... And a suncatcher kit..... Okay - it sounds like a lot, but I came to the house with waaaay more! I was a good girl fer sure. Went with 2 big shopping bags - came home with one! *Sarah beams with pride.*
We had a blast doing this - and have decided we must have a stash-busting Scissor Swap twice a year! End of Winter... End of Summer.... I have a feeling we'll have more folks at the next one too - once we rave about this to everyone, we will have a mob next time...
More tomorrow on our guest of honor... :)

Damn! That sounds like a fun night! We had a swap at our last knitting Meetup, but I came home with about the same amount of stuff, just different types. That's not the point, now is it? haha... Congrats on your restraint.
