Stash Bash Backwards Momentum

I was doing really well.  I mean REALLY WELL only using things from my stash.

I mean throw-away-the-JoAnn's-flyer-well. 

So, awww, phooey!

I made 4 hats - from the yarn stash - this week.  Only have one model willing to wear theirs in front of the camera. That was 7 skeins of fat yarn.  Yeah Me!

One of the hats plus another one being worked on.

I finished this puppy blanket - another 2 skeins of yarn, plus a little.

Then, this happened:

THIS is a 3 foot tall bag of yarn.  Those skeins on the bottom, those are POUND skeins of yarn.  I haven't counted, but I think there are 23 skeins in there.

So, let us tally.  Skeins out = 9   (go me!)  Skeins in = 23  Net GAIN of yarn, 14 skeins and these things are jumbo sized.  sigh

There is a plan for this yarn from my sister.  I'm being tasked with making an afghan for my brother-in-law.  That would be my 6'7" BIL, so honestly, I'm not sure if this IS enough yarn, but jeepers, now I'm probably going to run out and have to go buy matching yarn to finish it with.  Not sure how I'm going to work in the skeins of hunter orange - maybe a stripe around the outside followed by a dark stripe.

So, this week, the stash bash has been busted.  shrug.

I'm joining up with Crunchy Catholic Momma for her stash bash report - where everyone else made some progress.
