As Requested...Flash your stash....

[pmcgary]

Okay, my stuff isn't all put into the closet yet...but here are my various totes. (NOTE: this doesn't include any of my wool/acrylic yarns or acrylics)

These are yarns awaiting projects and my mohair for which I have no plans

Will add a 'full closet' shot when I am done.

Nice! You have nothing to feel bad about.

[dandelions2]

oh, my! that's quite a stash. Mine all fits on two small shelves. I'll take pics tomorrow. :)

[aussie_knit]

Nice! Most of mine is undyed, yours looks much more impressive

[Baa Bum Mum]

nice, you have such a great range of fibres, one day I will admit to some of mine ;)

[cvharris]

Nice! You have nothing to feel bad about.

I agree! Nice stash, Pam. I recently put mine in a glass door'ed double bookcase. I don't know if I could show a pic, I'm much too embarrassed about the amount of it all. I've never sold any of my stash. I think I need to prune a bit. :oops:

[pmcgary]

That's b/c sock yarn takes up less space....

I think this was a shock for me b/c I didn't realize how much yarn I actually had. (And when I moved yarn from my hope chest I found some stuff I had completely forgotten about)

[littleturtlemama]

I think you might actually have a bigger stash than me, and I didn't think that was possible. Well, personal stash anyway - we won't get into the biz yarn I've got here :LOL It'll all be dyed and sold, eventually :LOL

Thanks for making me feel better :shake .....And part of my stash is YOUR FAULT. I bought peace fleece to make the 'swing thing' - I have knit one - and have LOTS Of yarn leftover.(Of course that beats the heck out of running out of yarn on a project)

I am thinking I need to get into the biz--just haven't figured out how/when/where.

[dandelions2]

K, here's my sock stash. If you go to my Flickr acct (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dandelions2/sets/72157600264575239/), there will be little boxes that appear when you move your mouse over the pics - details about the yarn are in the boxes.

Patti... I think I may hate you a little bit.

[dandelions2]

Patti... I think I may hate you a little bit.

Aw...don't hate.


:wool

[twouglyducks]

It's only the jealousy talking. I swear. :pink

[ladydemetreis]

Some day.... I'll get there...lol

[whitecalx]

OMG, I don't even know which of your sock yarns I like best!

Pam, if you are feeling like you've got too much then just send some on over to me!

[trishshack]

Patti... I think I may hate you a little bit.

I'm with you. Just a little jealousy over here.

[angela]

wow, now my stash seems so much more normal! I don't remember if I posted this here when I organized it all (I've rearranged to put them all in bags and the bins now, this was just my getting organized so I could get it all into proper storage)
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c316/angela_myers/yarn/room/DSC01278a.jpg
duplicates and matching trim are in back. undyed and "scraps" are in the bin at the top. Yarn from a swap to make a sweater for me is on top of the bins. I also have an entire box of wool ease that I bought to make an afghan, and some boucle (ICK! I should get rid of that stuff. . .) that I got to make a sweater then started a blanket and have left sitting for years.
I have closeups of all the compartments, but don't want to hog bandwidth so here is just the sock yarn:

[twouglyducks]

I had to hurry and my camera hates me lately. These pics are not good. :LOL And this is only about 1/3-1/2 of my stash. Didn't dig out the last of my undyed stuff, odds and ends, few more skeins from dashing dachs and the cotton ease.

My Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/twouglyducks/) if you go through, i added notes (to be cool like Patti.)

[mhurst]

Aw...don't hate.


:wool

Patti-
you have a fantastic sock yarn stash! I love them all! Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

[meritodd1221]

oh dear -- I'm afraid to post pictures of my stash now... course, I'd have to take them first...

BUT -- suffice for now to say -- I have two four-drawer sterillite sets, and FIVE 60+ gallon rubbermaid tubs -- all of them at least 3/4 full of yarn (most are actually completely full...)

[ambersparks]

Wow, lovely yarn ladies!! :D Patti, I'm jealous too..... love, love, love all your sock yarn!! ;)

What's the pinks/blues from DD in the first pic?

What's the pinks/blues from DD in the first pic?

Davinafish :LOL no, I asked for Goldfish with hot pink in place of the orange. I LOVE that yarn. I hope to find a perfect shrug pattern for me by fall. :pink

I was thinking it looked similar to it, but didn't know why. lol It's purty.

[lauraheartsherlittleone]

Aw...don't hate.


:wool


Don't hate the knittress - hate the stash comparison game? *ducks*

(Of course, I laughed my rear end off when a friend showed me a link to a picture of a toddler tee that said, "Don't hate the playa, hate the playdate.")

You gonna dye all that? lol I have a pound of undyed Tresliske and a couple sock yarns. I don't know that I'll ever dye it. I'm so lazy. lol

[BirthFree]

Patti, You should have someone else dye it for you. Incredible stashes Mommas! Man, I'm put to shame. I'll post mine later tonight, my non-work-stash.

[lauraheartsherlittleone]

You gonna dye all that? lol I have a pound of undyed Tresliske and a couple sock yarns. I don't know that I'll ever dye it. I'm so lazy. lol

Yup... sure am... I dyed 6 skeins on Monday evening for a stocking in June. :)

[ambersparks]

Here's mine! :D I don't have too much anymore. I sold and donated a lot of yarn during the last stash game and then again a few months ago. I wanted to get rid of everything I knew I would never really use.
It was good I did these picts 'cuz I found a skein of Zen String sock yarn that I had totally forgotten about... it was buried!!
I also have some dishcloth cotton but didn't take picts of that.

On the right is all my wool! :) The mess on the left is Debbie Bliss yarn.

[dandelions2]

Amber - in the wool to be wound pic - I want to know what's all on the right!!

[ambersparks]

Okay!! :) Starting in the middle on the top left is Mint Mocha BFL by Mosaic Moon, Earth & Sky BBR by Belladonna, Night Sky BFL by Belladonna. Bottom left is two skeins of Bon Bon by Dashing Dachs w/ a matching brown skein and my forgotten Serendipity sport sock yarn in Georgia by Zenstring. :D
All the skeined yarn looks better than the wound yarn!!

[dandelions2]

I love that Mint Mocha. Drool!

I have that same skein of ZS, but in the fingering wt. :)

[twouglyducks]

I love that bonbon!!!

[gaelicgoddess]

Even though it's not anything grand, I would love to share my yarn stash. My stash is kind of small because I've been trying to make an effort to just knit with what I have and not buy anything new until we have moved in the next month. Anyway here's my pics:

I forgot to take pictures of my bag of wool emb. yarn. But that's about it.

[dandelions2]

Wow. You save swatches. You knit swatches. :bow



:lol:

[ambersparks]

Wow. You save swatches. You knit swatches. :bow :lol:

:yeahthat AND such nice big swatches too!! You're good!! ;) I used to save swatches but they were small... about 2 inches tall and 5 inches wide and now "if" I do a swatch as soon as it's done I frog and use it for my project! :lol

[meritodd1221]

swatches? what are those? I thought that was the part of the project where you are holding your breath that it'll fit right when you are casting off and trying it on your two year old cuz you didn't remember to stop and check after four inches like you intended to??...

[Knittingfor4]

Well this is alot of it, but not all. I have some stuff in a basket by the couch and stuff in bins in the garage. The drawers below this yarn are full of notions and fabric :lookroun:
http://www.geocities.com/knit_for_food/StashPic.JPG

[dandelions2]

Oh, wow! Organized by color! I love the shelves!

[gaelicgoddess]

Wow. You save swatches. You knit swatches. :bow



:lol:



:LOL Yes, I have strange ideas that maybe one day I could unravel them and use them for something?!? I don't know what. Maybe a small toy. Seam them together and make bean bags? Or seam them together and make a really colorful blanket? :nut

Gauge swatches and I have called a truce. We used to hate each other. At first I knit them really small. Then I stopped knitting them because they aggravated me to no end. Had lots of measuring mishaps. So we called a truce and now I usually knit them 4"x4". We get along just fine now. :lol:

[lauraheartsherlittleone]

Donna... you're my hero. I need to make peace with gauge swatches instead of grudgingly knitting them.

[momto2boysinOnt]

Donna... you're my hero. I need to make peace with gauge swatches instead of grudgingly knitting them.

Me too!

[gaelicgoddess]

:LOL

Thanks for making me smile today ladies. :D

And for humoring me and my gauge swatches. :lol

[ambersparks]

Donna... you're my hero. I need to make peace with gauge swatches instead of grudgingly knitting them.

And me too!! :D I guess sometimes I feel like it will be a waste of yarn but seeing how nice and pretty yours are maybe not!

[livvys mama]

Thanks for making me smile today ladies.

And for humoring me and my gauge swatches.


YES!! I love it!! You're brilliant! You should make a beautiful blanket so you can be reminded daily of your diligence! I'm hugely impressed!!!

[dandelions2]

Yeah, I bet a blanket would look nice!

[gaelicgoddess]

I'll have to keep collecting my gauge swatches and see if I can do a blanket in the future.

[jessj]

Oh my... I do have sock stash envy Patti! :nut

Not that mine's overflowing it's basket or anything... :hide

[ShellBelle76]

I LOVE the stash pictures... and I absolutely love the idea of a gauge swatch blanket :)

just took these pics last night as evidence that I should NOT purchase any fiber... and what did I do within hours of taking pictures? I bought a skein from laura (lauraheartsherlittleone). yes. that's right. zero resistence. absolutely pathetic.

that's just the wool... there's a healthy amount of cotton, as well. :bag:

[dandelions2]

Wow, Shelley!!! Just wow!

[chloesmom]

Wow Shelley, you could open your own yarn shop with all of that! :LOL

[twouglyducks]

WOW Shelley! I wanna come over!

[ambersparks]

Wow Shelley, you could open your own yarn shop with all of that! :LOL

Exactly what I was thinking!! ;) Can I come over and shop??? :lol

[livvys mama]

I intended to flash my stash - I've never done it - but once I started to photograph the sock yarns, I went from being proud to being mortified as I kept uncovering more. It's amazing how much you can stuff into ziploc bags in totes.........

I'm following Patti's lead, then, and here is my sock collection!

I will not show any more - it's just too embarrassing.:bag

I need to show these pictures to dh. He will feel so much better about what I have.

[meritodd1221]

Just wait until I have a nice day here with kids either gone or napping at the same time -- I'll have to add my pics, too. I'm LOVING looking at all this yarn!

[pmcgary]

I need to show these pictures to dh. He will feel so much better about what I have.
I was thinking the very same thing. I am sure my Dh would come up with something witty to say anyway.
