Flash it baby!
I'm sitting in the great room at the B & B in Buena Vista...the mountains are RIGHT THERE outside the window. It's beautiful. Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement about my Dad. I really and truly appreciate it...again, I'm blown away by the love and support that I get from this community of knitters.
About my stash, many of you have seen it before. It's nothing new...but I'll show you anyway. I took pictures before I left of all the little "pockets" of yarn all over my house. Here goes...be warned, there is a lot of yarn folks!
This is my loft where all my yarn lives. I love the cubby-hole shelves...I have Cynthia to thank for the cubby hole shelves, she found them on Craig's List. They are originally from Target. Go right now and buy them...it makes your stash look like a yarn shop:) Here's a messy picture of my whole loft...click to see the picture!
Here's my little Kitty Koigu picture. My Koigu has been living in my bedroom in a big basket because I just love having it out where I can play with it. Awww...Jesse was sweet enough to pose for me!
These are going to be felted clogs...they have been my TV knitting lately. I love Brown Sheep Orange You Glad and RPM Pink together...go figure. Did you guys know that I love pink and orange together? ha!
This is the overflow that doesn't quite fit in the loft. I've organized it into bins and it lives above all my bags. Yes, I have a closet that is filled with mostly with bags...hey, what did you think I did with all those bags that I buy?! Luckily, I have 2 closets in my room, and they're all mine! I don't have to share with anyone!
My yarn for the infamous Noro Shrug...it lives downstairs where I walk by it everyday. I'm going to finish this thing!!! I know that I keep saying that, but I really love the yarn and It's close!
This is my Bucket of Peace Fleece yarn to make Rogue. It makes me happy.
Lastly, the bottom container holds miscellaneous works in progress and the top container holds the afghan yarn. That's all folks...I'm sure that there is stuff that I'm missing, but this is all I have time for. I've got to get back to my knitting!!
Oh my Stacey
You are a yarnrich woman.
I love the yarnstore look. I don't think the men in this house would embrace it....
keep hanging in there
Posted by: kathy b at April 1, 2006 08:22 PMGorgeous stash! I love the cubbies! And thank you for having more yarn than me. I was starting to feel a little bad about my stash.
And super good thoughts for your dad and your family!
Posted by: Cara at April 1, 2006 08:49 PMI LOVE your loft - it's gorgeously organized. I remember you getting the pink and green cabinet on the other side of the room.
Thoughts are with you and your family right now.
Posted by: Chris at April 1, 2006 09:02 PMI clearly don't have enough yarn!!! MUST GO SHOPPING!! Sorry to hear about your Dad.

Great stash! Makes me want to go shopping for more yarn! Hope you are having fun on your trip. I hope everything works out for your family and your dad. You seem like such a great and close family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Keep strong! Becky
Posted by: Becky at April 2, 2006 08:57 AMYou have a really inspiring stash, Stacey!
Posted by: katie at April 2, 2006 12:14 PMThanks for the fiber feast!
What you need to do is go yarn shopping! Think of how much warmer the house would be with MORE YARN!!!!
Ain't it grand?
Posted by: Laurie at April 2, 2006 12:46 PMLove your stash Stacey! I love your loft, messy or not! love the pink and green shelving too! We must meet someday, I think we're in love with the same colors. I'd love to see a pic of the Noro shrug. Since mine has a lot of orange in it, I am going to use it as a Project Spectrum project this month. I hope to finish! Best wishes to you and your family. Lots of love from the knitting community!

P.P.S. Thanks for offering your house to me- that was so sweet! I'll let you know what I'm doing whent he date gets a little closer.
I love the cubbies the bucket-o-yarn, the baskets! I am so jealous of your organized stash! *L* Take care : )
Posted by: Amanda Cathleen at April 2, 2006 11:11 PMIt is a cozy little stash area you have there! I love it! I have that Martha Stewart basket too. It is one of my favorites and often rides in the front seat of my car as I am driving my kids all over town in the afternoon. Keep your spirits up and know that your family is lifted up in prayer. :)
Posted by: knitteriam at April 3, 2006 03:54 AMYarntopia!!! HOLY CATS! I think if I could just come and play at your house every day I'd never have to buy yarn again :)
Now listen up lady I've been thinking about that Noro shrug of yours that you started quite a few times and I'm waiting patiently to see it but I CAN'T BE PATIENT MUCH LONGER!!!!! Hurry!!!!!! If it looks like what I think its going to look like then I'm prob going to be knitting one shortly! Have a great time in BV!!
Hi!
My name is Stephanie, I live in Ohio. I'm a sahm of 3 girls (I also have a 4th--she's married and lives in England).
I have been enjoying your blog for a bit over a month now....I love the pics and the stories!!
I just learned to knit about a month ago. I've been crocheting------BUT....I think that I am addicted to knitting!!!!! I have to have it with me!
The other reason for my post is I saw your cubbies that you have the yarn in...WOW, it just hit me! I HAVE some of those! Well...we are renovating (MAJORLY!!) and in the kitchen, they have homemade cubicals that I was going to use for the kids, but have another idea for them, so I was just going to pitch them! Well...if I can put them in my soon to be small craft area, that would be perfect!! Thank you for the idea...and keep the blog coming, I really enjoy seeing what you are working on!
Take care and have a great day!
~~Stephanie
