String memeage...

1. Total amount of stash: Stash of what? Yarn? Proto-yarn? Proto-incipient yarn? String? I have a sweater's worth of dark blue Lamb's Pride worsted and one skein of dark red to accent it (it's for a Wallaby, someday). Random skeins of Lamb's Pride Bulky in white, red, dark blue, various shades of gray. One half-finished sock and the rest of the skein of Lamb's Pride worsted in bright pink. A sock and a partially-finished sock in Jo Sharp grey and dark blue. A few skeins of this lovely heathery stuff, two different purples--kind of a lilac-y and kind of a mulberry-y. I think there's some eyelash hiding somewhere. A couple of random partial skeins of Wool-Ease. I haven't really perused my purchased yarn stash recently, because I haven't been knitting. There's a whole bin of various sorts of roving--lots of merino in white, orchid, and some other shade of purple intended someday to be a sweater when I learn how to spin bulky. Some brown, some gray, some white of unknown provenance. Some indigo-dyed of that white and that gray. The aforementioned Shetland. A bunch of skeins of the cobalt blue Coopworth, and a bunch of skeins of the brown-and-white plied stuff, both having vague destinies of a hat and a vest, respectively. Other random skeins of my handspun, some of which are dye samples and some of which are not. A bunch of Caron cotton, or something along those lines. Some crochet cotton. Cones of Harrisville Shetland, in blue, yellow, white, black, and I think green. A cone each of 60/2 white silk and 30/2 white silk. A spool of 60/2 black silk. Mini-cones of Halcyon Yarn's Gemstone silk in four colors, only one of which I can actually find, a fact which bugs the ever-living hell out of me. And there's some amount of handspun on bobbins and spindles that's going to be a hood someday.

2. Last yarn I bought: Technically, the last yarn I bought was the Wicked Stepdaughter's holiday present, and all I remember is that she bought something with which to make socks.

3. Last yarn I worked with: Either the stuff that I am spinning from some Shetland roving, in a couple of different shades of gray, or the indigo-dyed 30/2 silk that is becoming tablet-weaving (and crocking something awful--apparently it didn't get rinsed well enough].

4. Five yarns I work with frequently or would like to work with: Lately I've been spinning and weaving (tablet) more than knitting, but, let me think. I am very fond of Lamb's Pride, and then there was this nifty mohair and sparkly metallic stuff that I made hat/scarf sets out of for the MiL and the Sibling. I have some TW with the Harrisville Shetland, and then there's the indigo silk that will become garters. And the gray Shetlands that I'm spinning.

You'll have to be patient. I'm half a continent away from my stash and will be until Thursday, at which point I'll be home for a mere 12 or 16 hours and then will be off to Chicago for three days.

What, you don't have your stash committed to memory yet? *g*
