Flash Your Stash Today

Hello on this fine day.

Are you ready for me to flash my stash?

OK

I am a very orderly person. Some may even call be anal. It is important that all of my belongings are stored in ways that are both easy to find and easy on the eyes.

As such, when I designed my stash organization system, I modeled it after a nice yarn store. I make extensive use of wooden shelves and I organize everything by fiber type, then color:

I use the table for blocking and choosing colors. When fellow knitsters stop by for coffee, we can spread out around the table, knit and gossip.

My preferred place to knit is on a cushy chair so the other end of the room is arranged as a cozy conversation area complete with good lighting. I like being surrounded by my stash to motivated me on the next project:

When I decide on a new project, it is easy for me to locate the right gauge of yarn and determine quickly if I have the right color or if a trip to the LYS is required.

If you believe all this, you are full of shit. You have been punked, my friend.

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!

Go here for the REAL story........

When I got to, "I am an orderly person," I knew something was up or else I had mistakenly visited the wrong blog! You are lots of wonderful things but orderly isn't one of them. :-)

As for us, we have no stash of yarn. We do, however, have le stash du vin...

I especially love all the projects you have going on your dining room table! But, seriously back to you comment on Nona Knits...Can you teach me how to nap while I drive?

You got me too - I was starting to suspect something, but I was also appreciating your organizational system - I'm a little "organized"/anal myself.
