on 11/7/2008 Very good tips, maybe I can get my oodles and boodles of yarn straight with your advice. Thank you.

on 10/30/2008 These are great ideas, and I might add that as you're finding homes for your stash, you can use this time to catalog your stash and record it on Ravelry. If you are a knitter or crocheter and don't have an account w/ Ravelry, check it out- you'll be glad you did. It is very addictive. You can use it to keep track of projects, needles and hooks, yarn stash, and more!

on 10/21/2008 I have yet to venture in to the world of sock making! I wish I did. I'm actually just getting ready to write about another charity: the Knit One Save One program which makes hats for preemies. Should be on my blog later this morning. www.stitchwitch.today.com. :)
My cats have been rather creative with certain yarnifacts as well :) Kids and Cats...and the occasional dog, too!!
Thanks for reading, Judy!

on 10/21/2008 I love knitting and crocheting, especially crocheting, and did you know there are kinds of other wonderful things to do with yarn - just ask my kids who have hacked into it a time or two. lol.
Your article was great fun. And for those who are tired of a particular skein - the VA gives yarn to knitters to make our soldiers socks.

on 10/15/2008 Thank you Helene!! :) That's so cool/sweet/sad that you do the knitting for the preemie babes :( Needles are handy for many uses, including fetching other items that go rolling under couches, poking at the husband when he's being facetious, stirring coffee even :D
Glad you liked the article! Thanks for reading it!

on 10/15/2008 Oh, yeah!! I got rid of a huge lot of things wooly but saved some real tidbits like unspun silk, veggie dyed wool from New Brunswick, alpaca and camel hair and .... I know you understand.
I tucked all my needles away and discovered a need to knit premie size sweaters for the wee'uns who don't make it (something to bury them in, ya know).
I don't know how I managed but I put all my wools away again. Funny, though, the needles have moved out to the living room and the bedroom and the workroom. They are really great for beading, too.
I enjoyed your article, Mir.
