When I have down time, like watching the news on TV, I knit for the new baby due in May this year.
I found an old book, with no cover, of knitting patterns from the 1950's in an op shop. It had 3ply patterns for baby clothes and as I had a whole heap of white 3ply yarn in my stash I sit and knit these at this time.
White is good because we are not being told the gender of the baby. I am not going to sew any buttons on until I know, then I will customise these cardigans. I have another two to complete so this baby will not be cold and I have used a synthetic yarn so they can be put in the washing machine. Still, they may stretch but babies grow so that isn't a problem.
So you are using up stash and prepared for all eventualities!

Ive only scratched the surface of the stash. I inherited my friends stash when she died (breast cancer) and I have soooo much.
