Long time......
I was busy, very busy with shifting to a home on "earth". We moved from a 14th floor apartment to one on the ground floor. Packing and unpacking, settling down all ate into my precious crochet time!
Some 8 months later, we are still moving things around in the earnest desire to give me some more crafting space or more aptly, a space entirely for me to sit and craft, far from the maddening noises made by my small family of an adorable teenager (? could teenagers ever be adorable????) and my loving hubby.
That aside, this home has been very supportive to my crochet / knit endeavors. I could complete lots of projects including a couple of crochet and cloth bags for my loving and ever demanding sister (love that about her!),
a top for a friend's daughter, Simba
a cardigan for my nephew due in October
and a matching pullover for his brother, sweet Sidharth
and one with the yarn I had leftover from these to make a pullover for myself
and a couple of other things.
The best thing that happened to me during this long absence from the blogosphere was that I learned knitting-and finished a stranded work knit bag, which I consider an achievement as it is my first ever intermediate knitting project.
Realising that I could do both, knit and crochet, both to intermediate level, makes me very happy.
During this time, my yarn stash grew totally out of hand. It is difficult to resist the temptation to hoard on yarn and with a loving and supporting hubby like mine, who reaches for the wallet even before I decide on the colours I don't want, it is a war I never win! Any moment now, my stashwould takeover our bedroom. Though I am only partly responsible for this catastrophy, I promised myself two things -
1. I would NOT buy any more yarn till this is brought "under control"
2. I would NOT start any dream-project which requires a particular colour or certain weight of yarn that I do not have in my stash.
Hope I could stick to my promises. Wish me luck please.
If you have any idea how to keep yarn stash from growing any more, please leave a comment below. If you think as I do (What the heck, one more skien won't hurt), please let me know! Would like to hear from like minded "hoarders"😍😊😉
