Stash Reveal

Everything off the shelves. What do I have anyway? To be fair, those boxes in the back are another organizing game of my school momentos.

Here it all is.

Top row:

-finished Fleece Artist Ripple shawl.

-Wool in worsted weight odds & sodds

-Chunky bits and bobs

-Noro (gathering for Lizard Ridge)

-Baby yarn- acrylic on top of wool

Next shelf:

-Complete grey wool for nephew # 6 (blue top)

-still aran left overs from the stash afghan

-Nashua blue chunky for a vest

-dk blue acrylic- enough for a blanket

-220 blue- enough for a vest

-Blue Ultra Alpaca (I know, the blue thing)

Next row:

-Sewing bits

-Sock yarn (missing a lid)

-fancy- Habu, ribbon and leftover bits

-UFO- Philosopher's Windows

- handspun

Next Row:

-More sewing

-laceweight (green lid)

-kw crap

-blue fuzzy acrylic- enough for a kids sweater or blanket

-Cotton left overs

Bottom Row:

-quilting

-220 whole skeins, left over

-nephew #5 sweater (on the needles, but neglected)

-chunky muss

-scrumble (from March 08)

Whew! And in the spirit of full disclosure, these skeins are on my window sill and slated for gift itiems. I ended up with two extra lids and one box with no lid. Hmmm? You can tell that a lot of my stash is disreputable remnants I can not yet throw out. Sometimes this is a problem with a solution (charity knitting), and sometimes it's just a guilty headache.

What's new is I bought full sweaters worth of blue in the Boxing Day sale for myself.

I am on the last piece of the Bristow (right front) and ready to measure out some brown alpaca from a local farm. I hope, I hope it can be Hey Teach. I'm weighing the yarn today to figure out the yardage. Plus I need to get gauge. This would fit similarly to the February Lady, but with shorter sleeves would be good for warmer weather. I did make my FL too big.

The saddest thing in that pantry, not the UFO or the finished shawl with no one to whom to give it, is the needlepoint I started in 1995. Yes a William Morris orange tree. We used to have the persian yarns at the wool shop that closed several years ago. I'll try to work on the little cushion needlepoint I started, and then see if I am a reformed crafter.

My sewing stuff needs better storage, too. I usually can't get to this corner because of the recycling.

This all fits into the things I will do when I am no longer studying and get my life back. Check that off the list. Now to knit it all.
