A Year With My Yarn. Seriously . . .
I had a wakeup call yesterday. Not only do I try to do too much. I have too much yarn.
I have a scarytoomuchamount of too much yarn.
I decided that since the china hutch is sitting empty in my living room since the Hull is gone, that I would put the sweater quantities of yarn in there where they would look pretty and I could see them.
JesusMaryandJoseph. This photo actually makes me feel uncomfortable. There is enough here for 20 sweaters and 4 sweaters with long sleeves. And there's more that's not in there yet - at least three sweaters' worth more. Not to mention accessories that can be made from the left-overs.
This is just not OK. It's too much. Much like having too many African violets, it's not fun to contemplate this much yarn . . .
As you know, I have been divesting and making space in my life and home for the past few months. I suppose it was only a matter of time before I took a serious look at my yarn stash.
I am foregoing my annual trek up to The Fold on New Year's Day this year. As much as there are friends I would love to see there, I don't want to be tempted to buy yarn on sale - and believe me, it's quite a sale.
I'm looking to match up yarn with patterns and get started knitting some of this up - accessories as well as sweaters. And you can be reasonably assured that there will be more yarn on my Ravelry trade/sell page in the relatively near future.
I think it's reasonable to think I could have all the yarn in one place in my home instead of four . . . (the yarnoire in the sunroom, the door chest in the guest room, there's still a little in the closet in the guest room and now the china hutch). Guess we'll see by the end of the year how well I do with this notion :-)
