We're in the second week of Stash Appreciation Month, and I've made great progress on reviewing, organising, and documenting my stash, which has been a really lovely process. On today's episode I talk about how that's going, what it's like to be plunging into the new year, and my Word of The Year for 2016. You can join in chatting about Stash Appreciation in the Ravelry thread here. Show Sponsor Meadow Yarn is an inviting online retailer selling yarn, needles and notions. It's a small, family business based in rural Suffolk in the UK. Meadow Yarn was born out of a passion for beautiful yarn and knitting accessories and aims to bring you a range of great products. Yarns stocked include madelinetosh, Eden Cottage Yarn, the Fibre Co and many more.
