Since I only started knitting last year, and I'm a frugal gal, I assumed that I had not amassed much of a stash. I only buy when I get a good deal, I'm particular about what I buy, etc. But my eyes have been opened: I decided to repurpose an armoire to make it home to all my knitting paraphernalia. Until now, it's mostly been in those giant Ziploc bags in my basement on some shelves. A little here, a little there, a little on the bookcase in my den. I had no idea I owned this much yarn.
Now I know that this is a paltry showing compared to many fiber addicts, but I really am very cheap. And picky. And I only began knitting in earnest
less than a year ago. I'd better get the old needles humming if I want to reclaim my "non-stasher" title. Or maybe I never deserved the title in the first place.
Pfft, that's nothing.
ReplyDeleteMy stash is spread out all over the damned house, otherwise I'd snap a picture for you.
I think I have more than that too, but don't know how to get a proper picture. I can show the storage unit that it fills up, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how little a stash seems when it's spread among many different locales. Whenever someone asks me how much stash I have, my response is always, "Oh, not that much, just 3 large plastic totes. And a basket in the living. And another basket in the living room. And a box in the office. And. And. And."
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the stash! Think of all the possibilities inherent in that yarn....
ReplyDeletePssshtah...
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you have your stash in such a neat little closet makes you a step above my "whoar-dinger" of an ash-stash...lol. I too started knitting a bit over a year ago and my stash is like a hidden liquor bottle, shoved in every closet and tupperware box I can find ;). Miss you miss Norm.
