the dowager is right. asking about a lady's yarn stash is like asking a lady her age. it is just not done - especially in the south.
well i'm here to tell you i am 40 years old and i have 181 items stashed in ravelry. that's not balls or skeins or hanks. that's items. now the last time i updated my stash in ravelry was july 4 of last year. great way to spend a holiday - organizing and cataloging my stash. but who knows how much i've bought since then. maybe i'll get around to adding my newest acquisitions over memorial day weekend!
we all have stuff in our stashes that we look at and scream (quietly or out loud so it scares the rest of the household) - what was i thinking????? you question yourself. you question your sense of taste. you question your sanity at the moment you made the purchase. is the color unfortunate? is the texture not doing it for you? is it one skein of 100 yard and you have no idea want to do with it?
well then it is time to destash!!!! your one-time treasure can be someone else's now treasure.
so join us for the 2nd annual yarn swap @ the YARN mart. all the details on the website but know that you have to drop off your stuff between june 3 and june 6 and the actual swap is between june 13 (knit in public day) and june 20! a whole week to look through other folks stuff and find something you can't live without!
