Oh.Dear.Lord, I need to stop.

So, I jumped on the opportunity to do a little organizing this afternoon. I've recently enhanced my stash with some beautiful new yarns, and wanted to see how many I could stuff, I mean, store in the yarn closet.

Upon closer inspection of the yarn closet, here are (most) of the contents in gallon zippies:

Baggies of yarn:

* 3 bags of alpaca yarn and alpaca/silk yarn
* 1 bag with 3 balls of Scottish Tweed
* 2 bags of various colors Malabrigo worsted
* 3 bags of various colors Malabrigo silky
* 1 bag with 2 skeins of worsted local yarn (can't wait to dye it!)
* 1 bag with 2 skeins Lamb's Pride and 2 skeins Sylan Spirit
* 1 bag with crochet cotton, twine, and hemp
* 1 bag random worsteds
* 1 tiny bag of baby cashmerino (3 colors)
* 1 bag with Woolease chunky in red
* 1 bag of sock yarn scraps
* 1 bag of worsted scraps
* 1 bag of completely random yarns
* 5 bags (HOLY CRAP) of laceweight yarns

Now for some of the loose skeins:

* 1 skein Encore Colorspun
* 2 skeins Elsebeth Lavold Silky Tweed
* 2 skeins of Classic Elite Miracle
* 5 assorted skeins of Woolease
* 1 skein Avanti
* 2 skeins Light and Lofty
* 4 skeins assorted Paton's Classic Wool
* 16 skeins NatureSpun Sport

The random tools and stuff:

* 5 cross-stitches in progress
* 3 cross-stitch hoops
* 1 cross-stitch loom
* dyepots
* Cake icing dyes
* lots and lots of Kool-aid packets
* bottle of RIT red dye (when dyeing fails, color it red... mwahahaha)
* tealight candles
* hot glue gun and glue sticks
* 3 sock blockers

Stuff that's spoken for/in progress:

* 5 "second skeins" for socks-in-progress
* 5 skeins Paton's Classic Wool for a neighbor's kilt hose
* 4 skeins navy yarn for a sweater
* Lion Cotton for a "Hey, Teach!" for my sister-in-law
* Pima/silk for a "Hey, Teach!" for me
* enough Tahki Bunny for a sweater
* 3 skeins sock yarn for greyhound legwarmers

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?)

Someone, please stop me. I need help.
