Shameless
I should be embarrassed...
Yes, that IS a whole dresser filled with yarn. My husband brought the dresser home to contain my stash back when it was only overflowing three baskets. And contain it did. With room to spare. Room to...grow.
What's that you say? A dresser full of yarn isn't so bad?
Yeah, umm...
Need a closer look?
You may still be thinking that's not so bad. At least it's all contained. At least it's not strewn about...
Truth is, it's everywhere. In bags, in baskets, in boxes...in the spare room, the living room, the bedroom...and that's not even counting what's on the needles. THAT's all on the coffee table. It's out of hand, undoubtedly. When it was time to time to switch skeins on Clapotis, it took me three hours to find the box of merlot merino. Nobody needs this much yarn. By rights, I should be planning about 50 projects, which might put a dent in some of this yarn. I could knit for the next two years and not run out of yarn. But that's not my style. Instead, I ordered 20 new skeins. I'm sure I'll find something to do with it.

But you know, if they ever stop making yarn all of the stashers will be okay!
Excellent point. i am definitely prepared in case of an emergency. Of course, I have more yarn than canned goods...
