De-stashing

It comes time to face my worst nightmare, the dreaded word; De-Stash! Since I've been back in Hong Kong, I've been trying to clean up my life in general, and to adhere to the idea of living simply, (so that others may simply live), which brought me to clean up my stash. Lots of time was spent in finding all the yarn I had hidden all over my apartment, and then re-winding it for center-pull balls. That got me through a lot of Lost, which I am trying to re-watch for the new season in January! You would be so proud of me now, its all organized and safely on the shelves in my cabinet, and I even managed to get a callus from all the winding. I also have a lot of yarn that I have no idea what I got it for, so it comes time to get rid of it, so I can be more properly organized about what I want to make with what.
So it comes time for the stash-busters:
  • 2x2 ribbed scarfs
  • Cabled hat from Stitch'n'Bitch books
  • Scarp yarn blanket
  • Dr.Who Scarf
I've finished one, which is going on the present shelf, to possibly handed out for a Xmas present or it might go to charity. We shall see. So right now, my socks and Shetland Shorty are on hold until I feel sufficiently de-stashed, or until I finish re-watching Lost, whichever happens first. I would love to take pictures to share with everyone, but the LCD camera on my screen is broken. For those of you living in HK, does anyone know where I can take it to be repaired? Not having my camera is making me sad.
