Yarn stash

Saturday, 28 June, 2008

Lincraft are currently having a yarn sale. I went in there on Wednesday and bought a whole bag full of yarn. When I dumped it on the counter, the sales clerk looked at me in surprise and said, “What are you knitting?” “Oh, hats and shawls,” I replied. Bron mentioned to me a month or so ago that they might have markets for this year's How Sweet the Sound concert. I thought perhaps I should start knitting stuff for it. In any case, even if the markets don't eventuate, I'll have stuff stored up to give to various people as presents. And knitting therapy is good for me.

I don't normally take photos of my yarn stash but I'm trying to document the process a little more the way other knitting bloggers do. So here are some gratuitous photos of yarn:
