The Stash...

We all know I have a big stash.

1.5 years working in a yarn shop added a lot to it.

Mom stumbling onto a windfall of yarn and sending me two suitcases full really stepped things up.

It's really really out of hand.

To the point that I know I have stuff in there and I couldn't tell you where it is...

 

Some of you may know and some of you may not know that Ravelry has a fancy little tool where you can log your stash so you have quick reference to your yarn and when you see a project you like it'll tell you that you have the yarn that will work for it.

So, taking a deep deep breath.
I'm pulling the whole stash this weekend and I'm going to photograph and log the whole thing.

It's definitely going to take the whole three days.

However, I think that in the long run I'll be happy I did, especially since I have a lot of sweaters I want to knit for myself this year and I'm 99.9% certain I have all the yarn for it.

I just need to find it.

You might want to send prayers and thoughts to D. I'm not quite sure he's ready for the stash to take over the dining room, living room, and part of the kitchen.

Then again, he has a shed full of race car parts.

Mine is prettier.

Pretty impressed you are doing it in one weekend. I'd do one or two totes a week, so I didn't get overwhelmed.

I have a ton of yarn and fiber, at least you have yours all nicely put away in bins. Mine is just packed to the gills on an Ikea shelf in my knitting room. I worry about it constantly. I saw a silverfish in my kitchen sink the other day which I haven't seen EVER in my house. I'm really nervous now! I thought about putting all my stuff into Ravelry too, but I don't have that kind of patience. Good luck!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...
