Kath I decided to have a stash sort out this evening.
Be warned, this may get a little boring.........
 |
| 12 skeins of 50g Sirdar Click aran which will soon become this cardigan for Emma: |
 |
| The acrylic DK yarns for the Granny Stripe. About 1600g still to hook up, hoping that's enough! |
 |
| 20 Skeins of 50g Rowan purelife DK which is going to be a throw for the living room once I settle on the blocks I will use. Oh and add a few more skeins too ;) |
 |
| 5 X 100G Sirdar Denim Chunky which will probably become this sweater for Cain unless...... |
 |
| ...this becomes it instead! 13x50g of Sirdar Click Chunky. |
 |
| 5 x 100g King Cole Riot DK destined to become a poncho for Heather, and possibly another for Sophie too. |
 |
| The latest acquisition - 10 x 50g Mirasol Qina DK/Aran weight, soon to be hat, scarf and gloves for the beloved man. |
 |
| Assorted DK Mirasol skeins because I just love Mirasol! |
 |
| Assorted Merino DK's in 50g skeins - a lovely squishy crochet cushion don't you think? | |
|
|
 |
| Randomly - 3x 100g Patons wool blend aran (itchy!), 4x 50g Robin pure wool (very old and itchy!!) 7x50g Grousemoor chunky (very old, very un-chunky but not at all itchy!!!) and 4x50g Sirdar Escape DK (not very old, or itchy, or even DK, more of an aran!!!!). |
 |
| Debbie Bliss Rialto aran leftovers, soon to be a stripey hat for Owen (or maybe me) |
 |
| More Debbie Bliss Rialto aran also soon to be a hat but this time for Heather. |
 |
| 10x50g of lovely soft, not as sludgy as it looks Rowan classic DK/aran weight. Hmmm? A cabled cardi for Jen? |
 |
| Leftover anonymous aran from Cain's winter 2010 aran - enough for a welcome baby sweater for the overdue neighbour? (Hmm just been informed she was seen getting into an ambulance a couple of hours ago? Have to knit fast.) |
 |
| Patons fairytale color 4 me - pumpkin hats:) And the Paton's diploma gold - still working through the pack of 10x50g I originally planned a hoodie for Helen with. Didn't happen - 2 toddler cardi's ended that idea! |
 |
| Hmm running out of ideas now! |
 |
| Aaargh - scary stuff!! Couldn't even give it away last time I showed it.... |
 |
| Aahhhh, that's better - super soft and squishy Twilleys Freedom extra chunky - scarf for the middle man. He says I never make him anything - he's 15, do 15 year olds actually want mama knits?? |
 |
| Nice, nice, nice - but open to suggestionsThe araucania has been in the stash forever but it just feels sooo.......... nice? |
|
|
 |
| Wendy Serenity 4x100g - eek I've lost one, sure I had five? Again no idea! |
 |
| Paton's Symphony 5x100g. Lovely Heathery colours, maybe a winter woolly for Heather? Or a big squishy bag? |
 |
| 2x400g aranweight. Brought home by the beloved man from a trip into town. Picked because I like those kind of colours and it was soft............? Good enough criteria then ;) |
So you stuck with me then?
And I forgot to take photo's of the 2 other boxes, all filled up with the skinny yarns. Maybe tomorrow?
Now how about you show yours....

Wow! I loved it!!! What an enviable stash you have. Thank you for your open and honest share, it is like 'Yarnaholics Not so Anonymous' I am still at the 'fail to admit I have a problem' stage...I have pillowcases of fleece knocking about and hidden here and there...
Blissful sigh. Ooooh the mirasol stash looks gorgeous!
I ought to sort mine out again, I changed my mind about having it on my shelves, and have it in various cloth bags and boxes around the bedroom lol.
Hehehe I've actually found a use for the scary yarn - freeform crochet, it really does add interest to peices.. so if you still want rid ;-)
Woweeeeee what a stash! I am drooling. Seriously drooling. It's like yarn porn!!!
How on earth can you think that your stash is boring? I am very impressed that you know what you are going to knit with it all...I just buy yarn and then look for a project that will fit it!
You have inspired me to show mine in my blog at some point though :)
You have a marvellous stash - and I'm impressed that you know what you want to make with most of it. I have some nasty fluffy furry yarn, but I've found by knitting it with a strand of plain acrylic it is easier to use.
Ah I always love when you share you stash photos, makes me feel more happier about how much I have around ;-)
Still got the eyelash stuff then lol, I gave the school some last year after accepting I'd never use it except for dd using it in crafts.
Love the riot colours, I have some DK and chunky here - hoping to cast on a tunic top srot of thing for dd soon with the dk.
Look forward to seeing your finished items, will keep you busy a while.
That's a lot of wool! Better get those needles clicking.
That's erm quite a stash ;)
Fantastic, stash can never be boring.....I love it all, especially the rowan purelife, you have a bumper crop of knitting to be getting on with there, Becks. xx
That's a delicious stash. I've been doing a similar thing recently, only I thought I'd mix it up and do it backwards - pick projects and then match the stash to it. It's causing a bit of stress, but at least I'll have projects I want to knit!
OOoooh! Fun to go through someone elses stash! Thanks for showing pics!
