Stash

Or,

My Yarn Box Runneth Over

I either need to knit faster or buy another plastic container. And no, I’m not going to admit publicly just how many of those boxes I have. Let’s just say that I have it all recorded in a spreadsheet with photos, since if the house burned down, USAA would never believe I have that much invested without proof.

  1. I would happily take that Green Bay Packer yarn off your hands. Or, I guess you could just tell me where you bought it.

  2. Oh my gosh – I never even thought of that!
    Time to start admitting to my addiction and documenting it!

  3. We all have a stash 🙂 Or in my case, a wall of shame 😉 Yours looks lovely! My biggest problem right now is being unable to choose a shawl pattern. I have lots of yarn that I want to turn into shawls and I can’t make a decision on a single one.

  4. I was going to just ignore your paltry bin of yarn until you said you weren’t going to tell us how many other bins there were. Welcome to the sisterhood. What goes in bins…stays in bins?

  5. Haha! If you won’t confess how many boxes of yarn you have, I won’t either. It will be our little secret. Last fall, I used up a ton of yarn by knitting a variety of cool hats for gifts and donations. It felt great to be using up some of the stash and even better knowing it will be used. I knew it was a hit when I saw my teenage nephew wearing his hat in nearly every single picture since I gave him his hat. Score! Good luck knitting up your stash!

  6. Photos and a spread sheet… great idea!!!! We also have USAA…. and I too have a sizable stash!!!
