I'm not worried

I've been getting to know the features of Ravelry a little better the past week or so. I've used it to peruse patterns and chat with friends, but hadn't paid much attention to all of its bells and whistles.


This morning, I listed some my stash yarn. You can list your yarns, and Ravelry can find patterns to fit the yarn you already have. I went through my shelves box by box and bag by bag. Sock yarns, lace weights, and all of my "nice" yarn went into the database. I did NOT add the 20 or so little skeins of cheap cotton for dishcloths, or the 12 or so skeins of Caron's Simply Soft I keep for baby hats, or the countless skeins of Cascade 220 I use for felting bags. Nor did I add in any partial skeins and leftover balls, of which I have an entire two shelves. And I also didn't add in any yarns which are currently being knitted in one of my 14 works-in-progress.


It's fair to say I listed just over half of my total yarn stash. Then I added the number of yards up...


Let's just say I'm no longer worried about the state of the economy. I'll survive.
