And last, but certainly not least, the sock yarn. Many people have told me that sock yarn doesn't count as stash. At this point, I must disagree. The next time I say I want to buy sock yarn, someone smack me. Really. Here we go.
Currently, in my stash alone, there is enough sock yarn to make (are you ready?)
