Stash Organization

I organized my stash this weekend because it's taking up too much space in my closet and I have to switch my clothes for the season. Why did I not switch my clothes until August or something this summer? My problem is that by the time all my stuff gets through the laundry it's time to switch the closet again. Durnit. Or the summer's too short. I'll go with that.

I have 2 bags of stash. I am proud of my conservatism. * However, in my new organization I categorized my stash into cheap and not cheap. The bulging bag of stash is full of cheap yarn. The 1/2 empty hungry bag of stash is for yarn of some quality. I'm cheap. I don't care. I'd rather eat my way through my income than knit my way through it.

So I came to the sad realization that my brother's moved out of the cheap yarn category and into the yarn of quality sphere. (I'm using his cheap yarn (some nice & ratty 100% acrylic) for a new UFO.) This man hasn't given me a bday or Christmas present for 3-4 years. This year, I get beautiful place settings that match my decor. He pulls this gimmick the one time I default on a present for him! Men.

All in all, I'm granting myself permission to get new yarn. YAY! I've got space in the stash bag and a brand new deserving recipient.

* The two bag total was winnowed down by moving stash into UFO bags. LOL. It doesn't count! It's not stash! It's in progress!
