I still have a couple of jumpers my mother knitted for me when I was in my early twenties – I’m 65 now and never wear them, but I can’t bring myself to throw them out ….

I am a retired school librarian and I had a great relationship with my school ART teacher. Now, I bring her yarn, fabric, wire, etc from people in my knitting group (I don’t knit, I sew but I am trying crochet again. Crazy, I know! but hey, I’m retired!!) If your stash gets too large, try the local schools and see if anyone needs some yarn!

This is fun! We have containers all over the house for mom’s knitting projects. At the moment, she’s making lots of hats for donation, so helpful at using up those random skeins.
Also, she loves the wooden knitting bowl that Ilona posted on a few years back. Holds a ball and has a snazzy little cut out on the side for the yarn to pass through. Lightweight too!

My stash is in several rooms in my house. I given garbage bags full of yarn to friends who donated the yarn on. I’ve also mailed yarn to my cousin’s grandchild. I still buy yarn to make fingerless glove, amigurumi, and doll clothes. I knit and crochet (self taught). I use you tube videos for new techniques and for reminders on old ones.

I had so much yarn that I wasn’t going to use so I made scrap yarn baskets and put them in bedrooms for dirty clothes and one in my craft room for balls of yarn😂. It ate up a lot of yarn but I still have so much!

Oh this was so fun! I’m over here looking for info on a series and am smiling to find another yarnie. I was a goner when I discovered natural fibers and hand dyed yarn. Sigh. Alpaca/Silk, Camel/Silk, Merino/Silk, Merino/Cashmire/Silk. I love to just look and feel and dream about all the things I’m going to make! And fiber – yup, bought fiber before I bought an espinner. This year has been the year of learning to spin. Love it! But now, back to finding a book to listen to while I knit!
