The stash is loaded....

I finished this week putting my stash on Ravelry! (If you want to peruse, I'm Knitzanity.)

I know I should have been working on school, but I have been feeling yucky, with a low grade fever, and I knew no good work would be done. I cut my losses and started photographing!

I was very honest with myself, and did photograph everything that is intact. I did not count the half balls (which themselves fill about 1/2 a tub!) but I did count all leftovers. 34 Balls! Not too bad. 10 of them are "official" sock yarn, which is great since I knit about a pair a month. I say that's a lean, fighting sock stash--especially since I am nearly done with school and I will have more time to knit--and PLAY WITH THE KIDS! So I anticipate an huge upswing in production.

I decided to pass on the STR Club. Even for me it seems like a huge expense. Plus, I would get tired of knitting with the same stuff all the time--as good as it is. I did rejoin the Sunshine Yarns Harry Potter sock club--the colorways just blew me away. So creative and unexpected!

I have just 4-5 weeks to go on school. My last project is due on December 10; I hope to be done sooner! Cross the fingers.....!
