Creating a Collage (Skirt) With Your Stash. A FREE formula from KIS Designs

Image
It's hard to believe that summer is nearly over and we're already seeing the "Back to School" advertisements.  I guess this means that it's now appropriate for me to offer my Collage Skirt formula as one of my favorite Back To School knitting projects!  I've been making these skirts for more than 10 years now, and three things keep me coming back to make another:  The near-instant gratification of a finished project.  The ability to clear out a fair amount of stash yarn with this formula.  The creativity-unleashed method of color & texture blending. This project employs an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to stash-busting.
