A mess of excess...

So why'd I post the pics of my stash? It has to do with public accountability, rather than a lame ass attempt to brag about yarn. If you know me irl, you might have guessed that I don't really care about stuff - I have a tendency to give away yarn at the drop of a hat. I'm just mostly hoping that posting this pic will give people the freedom to berate me if they catch me sniffing yarn at the LYS...Couple of reasons that I have it all gathered in one spot:

1) I'm planning on selling a fair bit of it. But before I can do that, I have to know how much there really is.

2) Christmas gifts. (Yeah, I know.) I'm thinking that this is the year that I knit mittens for everyone. So we're looking at a minimum of 15 pairs of mitts of varying sizes. That's going to take some work, as I'm also planning on spinning the yarn for most of them.

3) It's a great baby amuser.

I like the "baby amuser!" I also understand about the fun of giving it away. Do as your heart directs.

I LOVE that I know you IRL.

Yarn generousity aside. I'm all about the croissant kindness.

(and seriously, you think we haven't seen bigger stashes on the internet? I recently heard about someone who has a RENTED STORAGE UNIT because her yarn won't fit in the HUGE YARN ROOM IN HER HOUSE!)

That is a very respectable stash you've got going on there. Have fun with it, no matter what you choose to do.

I'm VERY impressed! And suddenly feeling much better about my own excessive tendancies! :) Really, though, you've got beautiful yarn and rovings!

Love the stash! Mine isn't quite so big... unless you count the undyed fibers... then... maybe.

Wow, that is a stash! I'll use your pic to prove to DH that my stash is really very small =D
