Wallowing in Yarn

Never enough ...

Never enough ...

Being under the weather this week I’ve been seeking solace in my yarn stash. My collection is more than enough to cover the floor of my studio… and keep me busy fondling and planning. (”Make yarn angels,” says designer Pinka Peck.)

I have 31 binsful. A dining room sideboard stuffed with plarn (plastic bag yarn). Half a ping-pong table loaded with T-shirts ready to be cut into strips. And two shelves stacked with reels of VHS tape.

This isn’t going to last me a lifetime.

In fact, I’m totally out of green DK because I used all of it for an oversize shawl that blends about 10 shades and hues (in different amounts) into a progression of dark to light. I’ll show it to you next week, after the fringe is on.

    Hey, it's almost a month since you spoke to us. We wanted to see the green project that you were going to show us the next week. PS I bought a sea-can to store my stash (and some retro furniture and some old jeans that are supposed to make camping blankets for the kids and grandkids).

    31 bins! Wowza! I thought my 8 bins were a lot.... SWTC is having their yearly garage sale next week so let's see how much damage I can make. :-) :-) I may not be able to catch up, but it will be a next best step. :-) :-)
