In this crochet podcast episode, I’m having a proper chit chat about my no-buy yarn challenge and how I’m planning to survive 2026 using what I already have in my stash. If you’re anything like me and you love a good yarny treat, you’ll know it’s so easy to keep adding “just one more” ball to the pile—so this is me putting some boundaries in place and getting really intentional about what I’m making and why. I talk through the mindset behind doing a no-buy, how I’m approaching stash-busting in a way that still feels fun (not punishing), and how this challenge ties into the therapeutic side of crochet for me. The big takeaway is that I want to shop my stash first, enjoy the yarn I already own, and focus on making cozy projects without the pressure to constantly buy new supplies. And as always, thank you for being here—this little community is honestly the best part of it all.
