So I have been getting new stash, but also going through my stash and seeing what I can use.

I had two random self-patterning sock yarn with no label and a rather unique colourway (cyan, magenta, black and white). I made two pairs of socks out of them (toe up with an afterthought heel which I loved, anything to avoid picking up stitches from a heel flap which would have been one of the 9 circles of hell if only Dante was a knitter).

So I was talking aboout maybe getting more stash. Well I did not exactly sleep on the idea. So here's me flashing my stash!

I picked up this pile of alpaca roving from the Canberra Spinners and Weavers recycling room. Plus a boat shuttle, because it was cute and pretty.

I'm procrastinating instead of finishing my woven V cowl. It's sitting on my loom waiting for me to do the V part, which is fiddly and finicky and not that fun. It's been sitting there for a week and I've been avoiding doing it.

So I resolved that I would finally do it, went into my craft room and then immediately started faffing about with my stash! I mentioned recently that I almost have one empty stash storage basket and apparently I needed to fill it right this moment.
Indulging in the time honoured Australian tradition of piss farting around )

This started as a quick post about finding what I needed in stash, but became a bit more philosophical.

Almost everyone (including myself) talks about stash in a negative light. Having too much. Being overwhelmed. Stashing down. Making from stash. Dying and leaving all your stash behind (horror).
Oh the horrors... )

I couldn't resist the Spotlight end of year sale and had a gift card burning a hole in my wallet so I went along to the last day of the sale.
Burn baby burn )
