How to make a scarf from stash.
Step One: Gather stash in the color(s) you like.
Step Two: Cast on 400 stitches onto a really long size 15 needle.
Step 3: If the yarn is less than heavy worsted weight, use two strands. If the yarn is more than heavy worsted weight, use one strand. Knit, leaving a long tail at the beginning of the row and ending with a long tail to be later made up into fringe. Alternate smooth yarns with textured yarns, throw in a little glitz...
Continue until you have enough width to your satisfaction. As I will be going to New York City in February, mine will most likely be at least 8 inches wide. When it's done, I'll post it. Until then, rest from your holiday brouhaha if you can, drink a cup of warm cocoa and listen to Brenda's podcast.
It will be nasty weather tonight in the River City. A good time to knit and hope that the power doesn't go out.
