I went to the Knit and Sit at The Knitting Basket on Tuesday. Angie is having a table sale throughout the month of June and I was able to pick up some goodies, like this yarn which I am making into a baby hat for the little girl born earlier this month. This baby hat was well received, so I thought I would make her a larger one.
It's such a bright and light hat and so girlie.
I also picked up these goodies:
The three smaller balls, are for more baby hats, as I have another baby due in October (no relation to us, just friends), so want to include them in the gift I give the new parents. I love knitting with that type of yarn. The larger ball is for a project I have in mind......I will reveal more later!!
One thing I have discovered that like quilting, my stash of yarn is getting bigger and bigger, and I swore up and down I wasn't going to start a stash of yarn!!
If you do a craft or hobby, what do you have a stash of? And is it out of control (LOL)?

Hi! Do you use cotton for the dishcloths? You've probably told us and I've missed it, but I didn't think you'd mind if I asked again!
I don't really have a hobby. My family is my hobby and taking the mick out of Mr Him. My stash of Mr Him's might be out of control.
I bought yarn to make dishcloths but that's as far as I've got. Yes, I'm afraid I have a stash of yarn. It's not huge and I really try to keep tabs on it and make plans for how I'm going to use it. My main obstacle is getting enough time! I also seems to have built up a bit of a stash of fabric. Quite a bit has been given to me - mostly small amounts though probably enough to make a scrappy quilt.
I love a wide range of different crafts and yes the stash as got out of hand with each and everyone of them, particularly buttons.
Gotta love a good yarn haul! I like that pink yarn for a little hat, I am busy knitting baby things right now too.
I'm trying to find a craft I can do these days... other than singing to my plants like a fool. Attempted mask making but my hand tends to zig when it's supposed to zag.
Reading is my hobby and yes my stash of books can get out of control. Periodically I have a clean out and take bags down to the thrift store. I love the knitted dishcloths.
I love that Rico yarn, i did Jenny a blanket for Oliver in that.
Funny how when you start a new hobby how the stash just grows, lol
I said i wasn't going to buy anymore until i'd finished my Autumn blanket, but
this morning i bought the yarn for the crochet bag-a-long on FB, lol
Love the pink yarn - that will be a gorgeous hat!
OK, I hate to admit that I have three stashes with lots in them - yarn, quilting fabric and books. But I do use them, I promise!
Are my cats considered a stash?!
Jane x
I take photographs of miniature scenes and I've accumulated so many things to use as props. I don't think I'm out of control but I probably am!
I have a stash of quilting fabric/supplies and a stash of cross stitch materials and supplies and a huge stash of books. No, I am having absolutely no problem dealing with these abundant masses of stuff. I just no longer allow myself to go into bookstores, craft stores, needlework shops etc until it is all used up. That will probably be never. And, if I acquire more I will probably have to move. Hahahaha!
Yarn is my biggest stash, but I also have beads, and some card making supplies. I do believe yarn multiplies when you aren't looking.
I only know 1 knitter who doesn't have a stash! Luckily we have a very small 3rd bedroom that I use for storage of my fabric and my yarn. I've got it all sorted into 'Rubbermaid' boxes by size because our house is terrible for moths. I found my stash got much bigger once I mastered socks. It's so easy to pick up one or two skeins of sock yarn. It's a great 'souvenir' to bring home from holidays too.
that pink yarn!!! oh my goodness, just lovely!
and yes, i am so guilty of having a stash! knitpicks catalog came the other day and i was already planning a order, and i still have a box of yummy yarn that hasn't even been touched! LOL
Yes, I have a huge stash, but it was mostly gifted to me yarn and then leftovers. But I don't buy yarn for a stash, rather i have a pattern and buy for that!
Stashes, plural: Have diligently whittled the fabric stash to almost manageable size, but there's plenty of room for improvement.
My current focus is the yarn stash: It now fits (more or less) into the designated cupboards, but there's still plenty of yarn to keep me busy for more months/years than I care to admit ;)
Gill, I have a stash of everything... you name it and I can pretty much be sure that I have a stash of it. Currently knitting for a yarn bomb so working my way into the stash of yarn.
Do I have a stash? Hahahaha!!! Not quite an entire room full, but it's pretty close! I do try and keep it under control. If I know I won't ever use something I will give it away. My biggest stash is sock yarn and mostly because I knit socks as gifts several times a year.
I have a yarn stash which, when scattered throughout the house, does not look all that big but when it gets sorted out into a few big bins, it's quite a lot. Of course, sock yarn doesn't count because they're so tiny. And those little balls of bamboo don't count either.
I'm afraid that I end up collecting a stash for pretty much any craft I've ever undertaken. I have yarn, embroidery floss, beads, scrapbook paper, nifty old books that I think I'm going to alter... I keep it pretty well organized and hidden from plain view so somehow that makes me feel better about. Until I open a drawer or bin and am faced with my addiction - I mean, collections.
Yeah. So my husband and I, as he knows about my stash of yarn (!!!), before I started learning to sew, but was planning on learning it so I could make a quilt, was quite concerned that soon I would have fabric all over our home. A valid concern. :) So we agreed where I can keep fabric and also that I would get the first quilt made in 1.5 years (I am a third through the quilt top already!) and he would have to get the office under control by the end of this year. Here's hoping! :)
Knitting is fun and yarn is so fun to get; I am more careful not to get more yarn but that is in part because I have figured out what I like to make (blankets, wash clothes esp) and I also want to do some stash busting. .... :)
My fabric stash is ginormous!!!! I need to cull but don't want to...
From the sounds of what you're up to, my late aunt would understand very easily; she seemed to always have a knitting project on the go.
Ooh lovely yarn colours! I have a small place and a six drawer stand from Ikea - if that fills up I'm in trouble! Luckily I can just about manage to control myself... :)
Ahh, lets see. I have a fabric stash, a yarn stash, and embroidery and cross stitch pattern stash, embroidery floss stash and a couple more that I won't mention as it makes me look like a mad hoarder.
God bless.
Oh, I love that pink!!! I have a huge stash of fabric....I bet I have enough to last me a lifetime...but I keep buying more!
I think I just clicked before my comment went through...will check back later and repost if it didn't go through!
Good to see my last name (Paton) being used on your yarn. I knew I'd be famous one day!
I quilt, knit,crochet and do stitcherys I have a lot of stashes. So much so that I had to build myself a craft room lol
Yep, I have stashes of fabric, yarn, paper, beads.... Way too much stuff!! ;)
