One Woman. One Knitter. One Year
Stash 2005: I learned to knit a year ago and bought this little case to hold my Stash (it now holds sock yarn). Oh what a naive little Grasshopper I was...

54 skeins of cream yarn.
Baby yarn and a cat leg
From the Heart: Yarn for Charity projects. I'm currently knitting some blanket squares for the Knit the Classics Blanket project and some sweaters for Knit for Kids.
Last minute entry: Today I received a package from my Mystery Swapper from Knit the Classics, Marji and she included some beautiful vintage mohair & silk sapphire blue yarn.
May your yarn basket never be empty.

I love the year comparison! Hee hee! I also dig the way you organized your yarn. Verrrry pretty!!!!
That is ONE years acquisition? My hats off to you, AND, Stashalong starts Today, do you maybe wanna get on over there and sign up? LOL, wow girl.
on another note, I'll trade you out some yarn for some of those 54 sk of Mission Falls cream colored 1824 wool.
You have had a very busy year!Just think what it will look like next year!
Wow, you've been serious! :)
I have some sad news for you. If you amassed that in one year, you will be in deep doo-doo if you keep knitting for 10 or 15 years. Really deep. And I know what I'm talking about.
It's a lovely stash.
Holy cow that's an impressive stash amassment in one year! What may I ask, does one do with 54 balls of cream yarn?
Here I thought you were gonna throw it all in a pile and take 1 picture! Nice job there! Yummy yarns! :)
Hey! That cream yarn! Wasn't that suppose to be made in to something for little ole moi??? hmmmm???
It looks good - you've always been a great organizer. Love the color assortments.
wowowowow! all that in a year? i thought mine was out of control!
Happy blogiversary! What a fantastic yarn acquisition year!! Naivete indeed. ;)
I love the red photograph - gorgeous colors. I swatched the red Kyoto, but it was the green Hana that won my heart that day. I can see that SABLE is not far in your future!
Happy knitaversary! I'm looking forward to next year's expansion. :)
That is some serious Mission Falls stash! So far you're win my "most skeins of any one yarn" award :) I had quite a time keeping my cat out of the stash for my photos...
um....scuse me? Not sure if you noticed? Your stash exploded.
;o)
Nice stash! Amazing how it grows :-)
Love the seafoam scarf in the Hipknits silk - verra nice!
holy cats cpurl! did you knock over a yarn store?! Great stash!
I also had a cute storage box that I thought would be perfect for stash storage when I first started knitting. Right now, my stash lives on and around the box, because it sure won't fit inside any more.
Awesome stash!
One year??!! No, you must have warped into an alternate dimension somehow! :o)
Come visit my stash flash.
Not to bad for one year. =)
a word of warning - stop now or you'll end up with my stash! My flash the stash was just emptied onto the bed ... again and again.
You have some nice stuff there though, a discerning knitter!
Wow..... just, Wow.
I am soooooooooo jealous right now. :)
Wow! What a colorful stash!! You have some great yarns!
Hehe you did good for a years time! Yummy!
You've done a great job in a year ;) Fabulous stash! What the heck are you going to do with the 54 balls of cream yarn??
(don't forget...cream yarn...cold sister in seattle...blankee....)
That's some metamorphosis. Have you given any thought to the warehouse you're going to need in 5 years? lol.
Happy Blogiversary!
all this in only one year? girl more power to ya'!!!
love your colors!
:-)
I'm drooling... drooling! What a nice stash you've got!
