I’m thinking that I love the size of your stash, very manageable. Here’s hoping that after a good stint of stashaloning mine resembles yours. Right this minute, I’m not going to think about it, nervous twitches don’t do anything for my appearance

Seems like both of us are into the blues and reds too! Love those stash colors!

I agree about the heel flap of the Jaywalker socks, I think I’ll have the same problem.

Yours are beautiful!

I have this to say: Sally Melville’s Styles. The BEST source for using up a mixed pile of not-quite-enough-for-a-full sweater but too good to toss yarn.
I think those Jaywalkers look great–women have suffered for beauty for centuries, so just buck up there, missy!

Nope, ain’t going to pull out my stash like that. The kids would disappear and no way could I get the cats to stay quiet, yet yearning, off to the side like Chappy did. Nice crack pile!

I’ll have to pull out and photograph my stash someday so that you can feel better. And I have to say that I was *very* envious of the KSH pile you had there. Must. . . resist. . . temptation. . .

I keep vacillating between wanting to make the Jaywalkers and wanting to skip them because the fit seems to be a bit touchy. The jury is still out.

I’ve contemplated eBaying some A.S. books to pay the kid’s tuition at college.

Deb – you have inspired me to organize my books. I’m going to do it tonight…….or tomorrow…..or by the end of the week……..
Love the jaywalkers! They are fun, aren’t they?

Wonderful stash — I don’t see any problems there at all *wink*

Jaywalkers look awesome. Congrats on finishing them!

Have you ever considered knitting the oddball afghan? I buy the lonely skeins whenever I’m at my LYS, in hopes of knitting this afghan up (My stash is VERY small). Here’s the link: http://www.knitting-and.com/knitting/patterns/afghans/sampler.htm

Of course, there is also Barbara Walker’s Learn-to-Knit afghan, which you can use many colors, or the mitred rambling afghan… I think you get my point. Nice jaywalkers, BTW.
