Sunday Stash: Enhancing the Stash of Others

I've decided something big. Starting from about mid-june, actually when I was organizing for the blog-a-long I decided that I had too much stuff. It wasn't a new thought but it was one that actually solidified for once. And I decided to do a complete stash down. For the summer until Sept (when I get my first paycheck) I am not going to buy any yarn, fiber or fabric. Period. No exceptions.

Let me take a moment to let panic set in WAH! So this is probably my last Sunday Stash for a little while. Instead I will be replacing them the Blog-a-long posts.

The theme this week though is the stash of others. I somehow accidentally (not really) suddenly owe five people yarn and another person some hand painted cards. Two of the five yarns I don't have to do for a while but. Here are the other three. I hope to mail sometime this week.

The first is for Contessa. It is roughly 4oz of Jacob wool spun up to be about a DK/Light worsted weight. It is the first yarn that I actually processed through my hand cards and I think it looks good. It really is Home-spun-y because it was spun woollen as opposed to the usual worsted way I spin. I can't wait for her to knit it up!

The second is currently on the wheel and was part of a trade. Hilary sent me a batt of delightful green fiber. my plan is to do a tighter single and then a looser ply so it'll be nice and fluffy.

The third I have just dyed up, in a fit of I-don't-want-to-part-with-any-of-my-stash selfishness, I tried to pick colors based off of her likes. And I really like the way it turned out. Now I want to keep this one too! I am a bad person...

And for those of you wondering I am still doing stuff for myself as well. The first random pull of my Blog-a-long socks was the Color Collison sock in Paca-Peds tye-dye.

Doesn't look quite sock-ish right now. But it does look rainbow! and it will look sock-ish soon (hopefully)
