Annie<\/a> wrote on her blog a few days ago about S.O.S (State of the Stash). I read through her list, and thought “Well, that’s not so bad!” So tonight I got thinking about S.O.S and I decided to have a look at my stash and bare it to the world. I’m not actually going to show you each component of my stash – I’m not far enough along in my recovery to face that yet \ud83d\ude09
\nWhen I picked up the needles again a year or so ago, I decided that I was only going to buy yarn as I needed it.<\/i> No stashing, just buy the yarn for each project as I started it.

\nWithin 6 weeks of that misguided notion, I bought this as my stash box. It’s designed for under bed storage. Nice and inconspicuous. I can still kid myself that I’m not stashing yarn. And seeing as I’m only buying it as I need it, I’ll just pop the yarn in there until I get caught up in my knitting.<\/i>
\nA while after that, I bought this box. It also lives under the bed. I needed it because the yarn that wouldn’t fit in<\/i> the flat box kept falling off the top.

\nI justified this box by saying I needed somewhere to keep the single balls and small amounts of yarn for little projects like socks and hats and the like. It was easier than finding the single balls among the big projects that I wasn’t stashing in the big box.

\nI had to buy this box a few weeks ago, after my Pusher<\/a> sent me the Big Box of Yarn. And I seem to have filled it up pretty quickly. It lives under the coffee table in the corner, out of sight, but close at hand.
\nKeep in mind that we live in a very<\/i> small 2 bedroom villa. I don’t have anywhere else to hide boxes. Which is a problem, as I also have this.

\nSo I’m not going to buy any more yarn until the yarn I have can fit into the boxes. Yeah right. \ud83d\ude09
\nI can’t keep cardboard boxes, because someone in the house eats them.

\nNote the evidence beside her.
\nAnd just because I found the picture on a CD tonight, and it’s one that I love, here’s Em at age 3 or so. This was the first time that she had enough hair to fit into pigtails. \ud83d\ude42 Unfortunately, you can’t see the pigtails very well. She was almost completely bald until she was 2 or so \ud83d\ude42
