Bashin’ da Stash

Last year I took an inventory of my stash, and it filled 3-1/2 pages of legal-sized sheets of paper! Note, this list was not one skein of yarn per line, but rather as “QTY12 Rowan Kid Classic Grey” or as “QTY2 Trekking multi-Redskins” lines. Because I truly want to decrease the size of my stash, I decided to participate in supporting do-alongs. My only tweak to Wendy’s “Knit from the Stash” is that I allow myself the monthly free-day from Kim’s Stashalong. Oh, and that I can buy 100 grams of yarn for every 1Kg de-stashed. Remember, sock yarn DOES NOT COUNT! Please wish me luck!! =:8
