Stash Busting Blog Hop – 2023

Happy 2023 🥳🎉 and happy new Stash Busting Blog Hop!!

Stash Busting Blog Hop - 2023

Since last year’s Scrap Busting Blog Hop was really fun and such a great way to make a dent in the yarn stash, here we are again with a new scrap/stash-busting challenge!

This year’s challenge is called Stash Busting Blog Hop 2023, but whether you call it stash-busting or scrap-busting, there is really no difference.

What counts is that during the month of January, I’ll be sharing with you 28 fun patterns from 26 crochet designers that will help you get rid of all those little scraps, leftover balls of yarn, or just idle skeins laying in your stash that you don’t know what to do with.

You’ll find anything from home decor to kitchen items, baby clothes, accessories, etc.

You can get all the patterns featured in the event at once by purchasing the Stash Busting Bundle 2023!
