Yarn Stash Bash

Steeling myself, emotionally prepared, I dragged out my yarn stash today. And I may even have cried a little. How far we have fallen, dear yarn stash.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

A period of straitened domestic economics - screw the fancy talk, we were broke - meant that like it or not, I was stashbusting. I didn’t mind, actually: instead of buying yarn for projects, I was forced to be be creative in combinations. For the kind of lazy knitter/impatient crocheter/mediocre weaver that I am, I worked a lot harder when I had to think instead of just shop. But after a few years of not buying yarn, my once-glorious yarn stash looks like it’s been ravaged by yarn locusts.

Even my husband pitied it, laid out on the living room carpet. And he fears the yarn stash. It was now so sad, even he could not triumph over it.

Curvilinear by Kat of Scarlettknits
