I just joined the Save Cash! Use your Stash! - along because I think I have an addiction. Yarn is my crack, no doubt about it. What I'm about to show you isn't my entire stash, oh no. It's mostly what I bought on a BACKPACKING trip through Europe. Yes, I was a dirty, unwashed backpacker with about $150 of yarn. Gotta prioritize, right?
Anyways, since I've been studying in London and living in a teeny tiny dorm room for the best 4 months I haven't had too many stash enhancing excursions. Not to mention that everything is ridiculously expensive here, yarn included. Oh but I do love to go to John Lewis and drool over the Jaeger and Rowan sections... So I came here with what I thought would be enough yarn to get me through 6 months, and really it was. I was being such a good little stashbuster.
But then I went to Madrid:
Granted, not so bad. But it WAS our first city on the whole trip. Whoops. I made it through Barcelona, the French Riviera, Genova, and Pisa with no problems.
Then came Florence:
I found this AMAZING yarn store. If you are EVER in Florence and you like yarn you absolutely have to check it out. They have the best deals in the world and everything your little heart could ever imagine.
I got this 100% alpaca in bright red to make something for my Mom (Mother's Day is coming up soon, ya know.)
It's soft and beautiful and I've really gotta figure out what I'm going to do with it. Soon.
And just to give you an idea of what I've been working on for the last 4 months in London
Plus some other things I've given away as gifts.
Oh yea, and my NEWEST obsession - brimmed hats. I'll hopefully be writing a pattern up for this one soon, we'll see if there's any demand.
I hope you have enjoyed my yarn porn and randomosity. :)
