| tattie-bogle's knitting stash |
I've been fairly good and have limited myself to only buying yarn very sparingly, and only then when I have a project in mind. In the past I've been a sucker for a bargain bin, optimistically thinking I will find just the right project for that single ball of something lovely.
The trouble is that my loved ones know how much I like yarn and are apt to buy me some lovely knitting stuff when present giving season comes around. I'm not complaining at all as I do love to feed my habit, but at the end of four years my stash had grown.
Well I finally decided as part of the great de-clutter to get it under control and sort out what I was likely to get around to knitting with, and what was just weighing me down with the guilt of not knitting with it.
I'm so pleased that as a result I have a chest of drawers that I can open!
You'll notice it's still quite full ... I wasn't too hard on myself! The other good thing about this is that I was able to offer 3 bags of mixed yarn on my local Freegle group and have been contacted by a beginner knitter who is glad to take it off my hands so that she can get in some knitting practise without having to shell out a fortune for new wool.

I see Rowan in there and some Shetland. What a lucky knitter!
I love how it all fits in the drawers. Mine is leaking all over the place. I need to do a clear out you've inspired.
@magnusmog - I think I'll add in the odd ball knitting book I bought myself in the hope I'd find something to do with it all!
@Heather J - it's nice to see it all neatly put away. For a while I had one of these big zip up plastic bags you get for storing douvets, etc. in and that was a nightmare for finding anything. A lot of time was spent de-tangling!
