Holy damn

I have too goddamn much yarn. Man, that is a nice problem to have. I've been spending a lot of time this month taking inventory, photographing everything and thinking up ways to store and organize it better...and today I finished the inventorying and photographing. Not counting the mystery yarn whose yardage is unknown and the million or so partials, I have 97 miles of yarn. And I'm sure there's another three miles in there.

100 MILES IS A LOT OF DAMN YARN.

Like I said, it's a nice problem to have, but it's an expensive problem to have created and a space hogging problem to maintain. There's yarn, needles, ballbands, patterns, half-done projects, scraps and notions all over the house. I have jars of partial balls lined up on the mantle. Balls of yarn in bags, tubs, stashed here, tucked there, displayed every so often. And I haven't even started counting the needles. Christ, I sound like an addict.

So all the pictures will be arriving soon on Flickr in the Yarn Stash collection. I'm sure you're just dying to see it all. Anybody on Ravelry, they'll be there, too. Feel free to drop me a mocking note, and I'll feel free to assume you're just jealous. And disgusted. Simultaneously.
