The stash that wouldn't die

[soc_puppet]

Remember how proud I was to have severely cut down my yarn stash?

Yeeeaaah. Guess who got upstairs today to find two garbage-bags full of fresh yarn?

Dad, I love you, I really do, but you do not need to buy my every skein of yarn you happen to see at a garage sale. Ditto kitchen utensils and cake pans.

Weeding through this new collection for stuff I might possibly keep is made more difficult by the fact that I'm vaguely planning to tapestry-crochet the Zekrom and/or Reshiram PC wallpapers from Pokemon Black and White Version 2 (seen here, bottom row, two rightmost wallpapers), and 75% of the yarn is orange or blue. Another 25% is white or in various human skin tones (two peachy-pink and a range of browns), which I'm probably keeping all of because I can seriously use that stuff. Hopefully I already have something close to most of the rest, because this is ridiculous.

Well, back to the hook, I guess. That corn won't crochet itself.

My family is that way about fabric. It's like they have a sixth-sense for when I'm in purge mode and give me more stuff.

Hope you get it sorted!

LOL! Yeah, I'm pretty sure he actually saw me carrying up the massive box of yarn representing about half my previous stash to get rid of a couple weeks ago, and yet there they were: two bags roughly the same size as the box I'd just gotten rid of. If the universe is trying to tell me I need more yarn in my life, it could have picked a better medium through which to tell me. Like making sure all the yarn I already have doesn't get tangled. That would be a great method!
