Are you a Knitter? In that case you might be familar with the problem of a growing stash. It's so much faster to buy yarn than to knit it!

Are you a Raveler? In that case you might be familar with the problem of a growing queue. It's so tempting to add more and more of the gorgous patterns you can find there - and so many of them are even free!

And now there is (hopefully) a cure to both: The Stash Down A to Z group on Ravelry.

What is the idea behind it? Every month we are moving on to the next letter in the alphabet (right now we have A as we a just starting). And then we check our queue (and WIPs), if we have patterns starting with this letter. If so - voila: all we have to choose a yarn (preferable from our stash) and the pattern (if we have more than one - I fear for most of us this will be likely. I have 139 pattern in my queue) to knit that thing.

I have two things for Alfa November: My Avalontop, which is a WIP and the Acacia Scarf, which I had to start anyway as it will be a christmas present for my mum (lucky me, that it is an A too!).

Here is the progress of the Scarf (about 50%), but I just started on Friday!

My Avalontop is about halfway done too, but I didn't made any progress in November. I will pick it up as soon as I have finished the scarf.
