StashWatch

I have a scary stash… I could knit for years with what I have hiding under the bed… At least I’m not alone…I know some of you out there have your own guilty secret stashes - I share your shame :oops: Lots of this is odd balls left over from projects and thing I have been generously given. Some of my friend frighten me with their ruthless approach to clearing out!! I’m definitely a squirrel type of personality as you will see. I’m going to be brave and show you my stash and list the main content so you can track my stash-busting efforts., incoming and outgoing yarns. I’ll update this page periodically as I try and work through this little lot. It’s hard to believe I cleared out two huge carrier bags full of yarn for my friend’s playgroup recently. Space only to be filled with my score from the January sales. This is the visiting public view of my stash - imminent projects by the sofa…

…And the true horror (delight?) that lurks under my bed…

These three boxes have to be arranged under the bed for Mewsley to be able to have tunnels to run along and a space at the back to hide when she’s frightened. There’s too much to catalogue all of it so here’s the main offenders that I have in any garment-esque volume …
