2011 January Stash

I've collected quite a few yarns since I started knitting just a few months ago. Perhaps it was a want to build a stash - through stash envy - or simply my eyes being so drawn to certain yarns/patterns that I just had to go ahead and have the yarns on hand so I could start them as soon as I was ready! Or it could just have been the awesome deals the Wooly Ewe was having for an end-of-year sale. But whatever the cause, for a new knitter, I do have a fairly nice stash. And I thought I'd link some pictures to show it off.





















That's the whole of it. Not the best picture, but it shows the quantity at least. I've got closer shots below.




This is a closeup of my WIPs. The far left is a roll-up of the project bag I'm working on in Thick & Quick in Oatmeal. The gray (and corresponding yarn) is the afghan I started way early in my knitting career. It has been taken off the needles and put onto scrap yarn, but it is still quite nice.
To the right of that is the Patons bamboo silk and the pile of remnants from all my previous projects.








This is mostly all my acrylics. All except for the large pile lime green on the left - which is Ultra Pima (Cotton), currently being used on my Primrose Path. I inherited most of those acrylics from my mom ^_^.




This last batch is my favorite. Its most of my nicer yarns that have yet to be delved into. Wools, Tencel/Viscose (the light pink), another batch of Ultra Pima (the wine colored), and a cone of laceweight bamboo. My absolute favorite is that variegated dark blue - its Berrocco Borealis, Super Bulky. I *Have* to find a use for it..because it is just sooo damn pretty!
