the stash.
well i took some pictures of my stash. they aren't superb, but they give you an idea. hopefully the page won't take forever to load, i didn't do a lot to compress it. sneak peek...
click here to see more. the first picture is good yarn, the second is cheap yarn :) not that impressive, but i am working on it.
did you see the new knitty is up? what do you guys think? i didn't see anything that jumped out at me. still searching for the perfect sweater pattern. tonight i actually started frogging the first one i made a few months back. i needed to do something simple while i was teaching my friend aimee to knit! she did sooo well! and she is already hooked, yeah! seriously, she even picked up on the knitting backwards to fix mistakes (although she made only one and has really even tension). i was impressed. i hope she keeps it up.
OH! i forgot to mention, yesterday i picked up yarn harlot's book. it is sooo great, and a bargain at $9.95. it is scary how i can relate to nearly every page. i do hope she comes to seattle, i would love to get my copy signed.
still not back to a normal sleeping pattern and i forgot to pick up sleeping pills today. oh well, at least tonight the pope's funeral will be on. i intend to watch that. i come from a polish family and the pope's passing has made me want to get to know more about our family history. maybe even travel to poland someday. it is tough finding information, most of our connections on that side of the family are lost. but you never know what i may be able to come up with now that we have the great internet at our fingertips!

I thought about you and your sweater dilema yesterday as I was going through all my old magazines and books looking for something simple for me to knit. There are lots of great tank patterns out there that don't have a lot of shaping if any at all and many can be knit in the round. By starting with a tank you can test run most sweater skills without having to worry about sleeves. My first sweater started out as a LS turtleneck that became sleeveless when the sleeves were two totaly different sizes. Good luck to you, one day you will laugh about all the trouble that you had with sweaters way back when.
P.S. I love days like today when the sun is shining in the Pac. NW. it makes all the rain almost worth it!
You seriously have a beautiful stash. I really am slightly jealous.
I have to agree with you about the new knitty. Didn't really find anything that appealed to me all that much except maybe the I Do lacy thing. Other than that it's kind of blah.
I TOTALLY envy your stash! MY Stash is lame...have fun knitting it all up :-)
looking at people's stashes i'm struck how people tend to lean towards certain colors. it's especially noticeable with yours. such pretty soft colors.
Amy- your site is so pretty! And I am SO jealous of your STASH!!!!!!
