The stash

I buy yarn from the charity shop! I like multicoloured blankets and I make them for various relatives. I've just bought some transparent zipped boxes to store it and make it easy to see the colours. It's good for my arthritic fingers to keep moving.

I finally gave the last of the wool I was going to do something with to a charity shop.

I say that but I am willing to bet there is at least one sneaky skein lurking somewhere. I'd better go and check the chest of drawers in the spare room while I think about it.

The weather's been too hot to crochet or knit.
Good excuse.

Well, you do know there are two kinds of hobby don’t you.
The hobby itself and collecting for that hobby. Or , in my case several hobbies.

Mine is a big ball of green Arran Wool, an unfinished 'blankie' and supporting wool, and half crochet'd yoga socks, in various stages with various wools awaiting attention (I'm stuck at the ankle turn confused

A subject dear to my heart 😀

It's also known as SABLE (Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy).
The problem with mine is it's in neat boxes or wicker baskets, cleverly disguised around the house or hidden away under the stairs. Something I should get to grips with, although I do rearrange it sometimes which is very enjoyable.

I challenge anybody who has ever knitted, or crocheted etc to deny they have a stash of wool either still to be knitted, or leftover because it ‘might come in useful’ or just left over.
