FLASHING MY STASH

My secret pal 11 hostess is having Contest number 3. Here is what we have to do .."you will have to flash your stash. Post a picture by Monday, October 8th, 2007, to win a prize." I am not posting all my stash just a small portion of it.

So here goes, photos of some of my stash.

Blue Sly Alpaca 50% Alpaca and 50% Silk (3 skeins) in an eggplant color
Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich (2 skeins) in a pink purple color

Four assorted mohair yarns

SRK Ovation 75% Kid Mohair and 25% Silk (4 skeins) variegated colors
Misty Baby Alpaca in pink (1 skein)I decided to put photos of my smallest bag of stash. Now I will have to figure how to put these on Ravelry. I think I first need to put these on my flicker account and from there I can get them on Ravelry. A job for another day this week.

The next stash photos to put on Ravelry will be my sock yarns I think but I won't put them on my blog. You will have to check out Ravelry for them but as I previously wrote these photos will go on first. I need to take the photos of my sock yarn. You can find me under pennala if you are interested.

I love the variety of fibers in your stash. How fun.
Welcome to Knitter's Coffee Swap! I find this a great way to celebrate the changing of the season to cooler weather: with coffee and knitting.

Possum yarn? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, the other day on Knitty Gritty they spun dog hair to make a sweater for a dog. Crazy!
