Or Screw Knitting From My Stash

Right after Christina decided to participate in Knit From Your Stash, I also decided to give it a try. In preparation, I got all my yarn out in hopes of organizing my stash for more efficient project planning. After about an hour of trying to keep the little one from swimming in the pile, it all just got stuffed back in the bins. Granted, I do have enough for a couple sweaters – but other than that, my stash isn’t that impressive. And I barely have any sock yarn.

So, I think I’ll start a new movement – Build Your Stash 2007. I bet there are lots of willing participants out there. There are no rules – buy, make, trade… what ever you can do to add to your stash. Anyone want to make a button for it!?

Here’s my progress so far:

Sweet Georgia – Rusted

Gems 100% Merino – Charcoal

Claudia Hand Painted – Butter Pecan

Twilleys Freedom Spirit Yarn – Earth

Louisa Harding Kashmir Aran – Chocolate, Pink (it was 50% off!)

A pretty good start, eh? The Gems, Claudia, and Louisa Harding are from Knit A Round in Ann Arbor and the Sweet Georgia and Twilley’s is from The Bead and Yarn Gallery in Windsor.

I also have to share this (it is too good not to):

My sister-in-law turned me on to this wonderful product – The Lip Scrub. My winter lips are nice and exfoliated. I love it!!
