Poop Load Of Yarn

Yesterday Paul commented on the post and said I had a Poop Load of Yarn. *L*

So I thought I'd give y'all a lookie at my entire yarn stash.

Before I do though I would like to tell Cookie that I don't need Yarn Rehab. :P

Okay here it is in the Yarn Amoire. This is just the top two shelves. There are two drawers that are completely yarn free so it's not THAT bad. Although it is kinda bad... but I figure so long as it can all FIT without squishing inside the Yarn Amoire I'm okay. I don't have a problem... Really.

And here's what it all looks like taken out of the Amoire. (Clickie for a big piccie)

That cabinet it pretty damn deep to hold all of that. o.0

I need to get Cookie over here so she can look through a select section of all of that and pick out what she wants.

Now I did buy each skein of yarn with an idea of what I wanted to do with it, so it wasn't just random yarn purchasing. A lot of that stuff even has copies of the pattern with it in a baggie or notes on what it's for. But there is some that I've changed my mind on and it's good yarn so it gets to live in my stash until I have an idea of what I want to do with it, but then again if Cookie can use some of it now that's cool too. But like I said, only a select part of that. :P

Some of it I have set aside in my mind for when I knit for charity stuff. (The easy care stuffies and the acrylics that I picked up when I was trying to crochet among other things.) I've been looking into the different programs currently available and I've not made up my mind yet. I'd like to help people who really need help and those here in the US too. There's a ton of poor cold people right here and often they are overlooked. Just cause you live in the land of the golden rich honey doesn't mean it's getting to you, ya know. So I want to help them. And not just sad people lost a loved one or something, but people who are at the bottom and don't have a penny and who are struggling to just be. Those who do more surviving than living ya know. Granted when you're on the streets starving or a kid coming out of an abusive situation and you're neglected a knit item can only do so much. But sometimes just knowing that someone somewhere even if you don't know them took some time to think about you and cared even a bit can spark a seed of hope and that will keep ya just as warm as a hat or whatever too. I may not be making any sense though. In my land of rich golden honey I've had a huge Starbucks this morning and I'm high off the caffeine after so many days of being good and doing without. o.0 I think I'll switch back to the herbal teas eh.

If Otters needed hats and scarfs I'd knit for them, but they just need humans to stop being selfish assholes and think about the big picture with all the creatures of the world. But that's another matter entirely. ;)

Well I took this post to a place I hadn't intended to go. I meant to be light hearted and show Paulie what a Poop Load of Yarn really looked like.

In keeping with the light hearted tone that this post was intended I'll show ya how I keep my needles organized. ;)

That's all my needles, notions and crochet hooks.

They all fit neatly into the tote which makes knowing where it all is when I'm looking for something pretty easy.

And finally here is all my Dye Supplies, Fabric/Sewing Stuffies and Beading stuff. ;)

You call that a stash?! :-) Thanks for amusing my husband with the title of this post. The man never matured past third grade.

Holy Shit, Otter!

That's not a stash. That's a yarn store. *L*

I say if you have empty storage spaces you do not yet qualify for yarnaholics anonymous. Intervention isn't called for until you have filled the empty drawers and are now hiding yarn in teapots, empty wineglasses, inside VHS casette jackets, and coat pockets to mask the immense size of the stash. ;)

Charity knitting is near and dear to my heart....It's one of those things that you just have to find what is right for you. Then you may find that you like something better. I think the best charity that I have done things for would be Rad Bad Beanies. Hats are pretty quick to make, and I have gotten some of the sweetest thank you-s from that organization.

DAMN girl, you win for the most yarn.

:o)

Hehehehehe.....

That SURE IS a POOP LOAD of yarn! Holy Cow! WOW, even! There's enough yarn there to roll around in... Right, Ann??!! Hehehehehe......

(And I am VERY impressed at how organized you are with it. I guess with THAT MUCH YARN, you kinda have to be..... LOL!!!)

I think your yarn stash looks positively yummy, Otter. I love that I can do charity knitting, as well. And I totally agree with you about the opportunity to do good for others who are simply just trying to be. It’s something that we can give, and that’s truly a priceless gift. Yay for you!
