burn the stash
Posted in stash enhancement, knitting, blogging on Nov 2nd, 2007
Very tempting to do after getting most of it cataloged into Ravelry along with photos in Flickr.
So far 41 pictures in the sock yarn folder and I’m sure I’m missing a couple . . . so lets call it enough yarn for 45 pairs of socks. Sweater amounts of yarn were definately fewer and mostly kid sweater amounts . . . 16 total . . . 2 in amounts for sweaters for me . . . maybe 5 average adult sweaters of various types . . . 9 or so in kids amounts. The rest of the stash is mostly in ones and twos, sure there may be a four or five here or there, but mostly it’s ones and twos.
What the heck am I going to do with all those singles. Yes, I have One-Skein Wonder and several other books with small projects but I could be knitting hats, scarves and mitts until I’m 60. Guess I could do a couple of Baby Surprise Jackets and tuck them away for gifts, same with the hats, scarves, and mitts.
But, really, almost half the stash? I guess the thing that sucks it that almost all of those ones/twos/threes were purchased for specific projects. This all goes back to the “talks a big game, follow through sucks”. *sigh*
