Anyway, yesterday (it long over due), I was organizing my large stash from my closet.
ATTENTION KNITTERS!
PLEASE BE CAREFUL! ARE ABOUT SEE IS DREADFUL AND HORRIFIED PIC OF MY STASH! If YOU HAVE A HISTORY WITH HEART PROBLEMS, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THE POST! THANK YOU! HAHAHA I am just joking with you!
Youguys remember begining of this year's Feb my stash pic? SEE HERE Compare to Feb pic, I can tell my stash growing really big! It has been creating some huge problem in my closet ..I will say it is fucking soo much yarn...I dont know what to do with it. I know..I have to stop buying yarn and start new project and use the yarn what I have.
You can see yarns are taking over my bed room. It is like a yarn river! HELP ME!
And another pic of my NEW organized stash box!
Talking about the Stash...I guess every knitters are agree with too my stash on your home..It is so hard to buying new yarn... One of Stephanie McPhee's book "Kntting Rules!", she point out "FIVE GREAT REASON TO KEEP" A STASH in this book..."If anyone ever tries to make you feel guilty about your stash, there are several thing you can point out."
"Five Reasons to Keep a Stash"
- Some people collect rocks or seashells. Enough said.
- Yarn, if you get enought of it, can totally act as house insulation, helping to cool your house in the summer and hold in heat during the winter. Lit's almost irresponsible, in the face of global cliumate change, hot to have a stash of yarn.
- Wool is flame - retardent and what people in the fire business refer to as "self-extingushing." If someting self-extinguishing is exposed to a flame, when the flame is removed it will no longer burn. This means that (in my special little world) having an extensive woolen stash is practically a safety thing. Remind me to call my insurance company to have my rates lowered.
- Speaking of insurance, a stash protects against any number of emergencies. What if you lost your job and could no longer afford to buying yarn? What if you had to move to a remote mountain pass in Nepal and couldn't get to a yarn shop without a five-day hike? What if, out of the blue, huge felted woolen car cozies became popular and the world's supply of fiber was eaten up by the auto industrym causeing wool scarcity and widespread panic among knitters everywhere? Better to be prepared. You never know when supply could dry up.
- It's a way better alternative than drinking heavily or doing drugs, which is probably the way I'd spend my time if you took my knitting away.

:-)
Wow, that is quite a stash! Love the new Malabrigo.
O.K. you really scared me! I thought I had a big stash, but boy, you've got the motherload! :o)
One yarn I don't have in my stash is any Malabrio. I see it everywhere, guess I'll have to get me some real soon. Happy knitting, Charles! I've been sitting on my spinning wheel all weekend. Finished plying everything, thank god! Have a nice week, and lots of time for knitting!
That is one heck of a stash! I see some beautiful yarn peekout of there though. Seriously - heed Stephanie's advice and don't let anyone make you feel guilty about it. She's a smart woman!
Please don't feel guilty about your stash. Compared to mine, that's tiny. I have a 2 bedroom condo and the whole second bedroom is full of yarn. I have enough sock yarn to make at least 100 pairs of socks at last count. Never mind the sweaters worth of yarn hanging around and the spinning fiber. But that Malabrigo? mmmm. That's a must have in anyone's stash. Beautiful colors.
okay charles.. this is so brave of you to share with all of us.. I also have begun having a stash. I have since stopped buying yarn since Stitches. I want to see some projects completed.
Wow, that is quite a stash. It definitely looks great all organized and stored away. I need to follow your example and get my yarn all straightened out and organized too!
Yummy Malabrigo.
Yay for storage bins!! I'd still say you should stop buying yarn and start knitting faster, though. LOL!!
Charles --
Goodness gracious, that's a lot of fiber! You'll be busy for a while.
Sorry your semester is going so crazily, but glad you seem to have found some time in your schedule to get to the important things -- like organizing yarn. As a librarian, I approve of organization!
Thanks for all your kind comments on my blog. I get a really kick out of reading yours.
Now knit some of that stuff up!
Cheese and Rice that is a lot of yarn! Now you need a picture of you rolling around in it. Weee!
Tony says thanks for the Birthday Wishes!
Wow Charles! You have a lot of yarn! Your stash is crazy. o_O
I'm glad you were able to organize it.
Good luck on the Shifting Sands scarf too. Can't wait to see how it looks in Roanoke.
Gosh Charles, that is a pretty significant stash...although if you check back to April 1st on my blog, I really can't cast stones.
Gotta love plastic boxes!!
Thank you, Charles, for making me feel better about my own stash. Most of mine is in spinning fiber, which takes up a good portion of our attic. If Paul says anything to me about it, I will show him this entry! Just kidding.
Wow that's quite the stash. I won't say I'm not jealous, because I am! I saw Silky Wool in there. I have to get some more of that stuff!
get knitting, charles. the wool cries for being shaped into garments.
Thanks for coming by to visit my blog!
My goodness your stash is a mini yarn shop! Thank goodness for storage bins! :o)
you are out of control!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that malabrigo is such a gr8 color!
and the song this week???? GDAWESOME!!!!!
I jus fell ion love with the malabrigo cashmere blend. Wow, I am glad you are alive and safe lol!
Charles,
I can help you with your stash problem. Feel free to send any over to me and I'll happily knit it up!
Jason
that's a lot of yarn - but I think I still win (with over 1000 skeins) - and it's OK because yarn is the tool we use to create -
:)
Kyle
Your stash is going to eat you at this rate. : )
OMG!!! Wow, that is a lot, I mean a lot of yarn. I'm a bit speechless (and jealous) :-)
