Well folks, we have a winner!

Yes, it's true! We have a winner! Manda of Hello-Lovely has won the 4 skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky...whoo hoo! Thanks everybody for playing along, it was great to see that I'm not the ONLY one with a rediculously huge stash. Thank you to all who stepped out and posted pictures of their stash for the world to see...even I was a little nervous. What would people think? Would they be shocked, horrified, stunned into silence? I should have known better...this knitting/blogging community is awesome, I had nothing but nice comments and compliments!

If you want to see some other stash storage ideas...go check out Nancy's Pillar 'O Yarn (all I can say is WOW!), Lynne has her yarn stashed all over the place in some very unexpected places;-), Manda showed her growing stash hanging on the back of the door (scroll down the Oct.18th entry) ah...I remember the days when my stash could fit into two baskets...oh how you have grown!, Lauren has a list of her stash on the sidebar (great idea!), Chauntel recently reorganized her stash and has a great cabinet for all her yarn, Maggi looks like she likes plastic bins as much as I do,Natalie has her grandmother's cedar chest, and last but certainly not least Larissa calls hers a "Vice Closet"! Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!

The good thing about forcing yourself to organize your stash is that it gives you a better idea about what you have...and it gets me excited about things I bought in the past and forgot that I had! Who needs to buy more yarn...I can just go shopping at the yarn store in my basement!

yay!!! :) eheh thank you! :) I emailed with my address and stuff, so I hope you got it. My gmail's still being a brat and not letting me in, but hopefully fixed soon. I finally found a place where I can get in touch with someone about it. Thanks to the contest, I've got lots of ideas on how to store my stash when it starts getting bigger. *grin* Take care! :)

Hey Stacey --

Love the stash-sharing ... I'd be too afraid to take pictures of my own (the "business" stash has metaphasized into my "own" stash ... well, really, who am I kidding?, that's why I have it to begin with).

Anyhow ... any way I can talk you into sharing the stitch pattern of your cool scarf on your blog? :) I'm sure that I'd be not the only happy recipient.

Nice to see you again last Sat. -- thanks for coming!
