Where have I been?
Well, a little bit here:
But mostly here:
Packing is a bitch. But, as you might notice, at least I have the happiness of packing in boxes that were once full of delicious yarn. I happened to show up at my LYS on recycling day, and snagged the giant pile of boxes they had sitting out from the fall shipments. I hope they have more when I go back because I have A LOT of stuff, as it turns out.
Case in point:
Yikes. Of course, organizing the stash is more pleasant than packing the stash, but it's all relative. It was kind of frightening to see how many projects I have in the pipeline because, yes, honestly, almost all of that yarn has a specific project attached to it, but apparently I have not had the gumption to knit any of them. Which means I better hurry up and finish my Sockpal Socks and my Secret Gift Project so that I can get some sweater-knitting underway.
To that end, after I sorted everything by weight and fiber, I left out the yarn that will be accompanying me to Michigan in the car:
Jo Sharp Silkroad DK Tweed for SGP
Lorna's for Sockpal Sock #2
Koigu for Broadripple #2
Handpainted Yarn Bulky Merino in Rhodesian for Honey, from the Rowan Ribbon Twist collection. I.E. Winter Sweater #1. Should be a pretty quick knit, what with the size 17 needles and all. 17s! Ha!
I know I'm behind on answering emails and comments--I'll be back up to speed soon!

Cool stash!! I love seeing what other people have - lots of colors catching my eye that is for sure...hiya Bailey peeking from behind the bed!
So organized! I love stash pictures... they make me feel like I am not alone in my hoarding. :) Good luck with the packing!
Hah! You have projects attatched to all your yarn! That's nothing! Just wait until you start buying stuff just because it's... *pretty*.
(Yes, it's probably safe to ignore the jealous (of organization) person in the third comment...)
I love your large stash! Hope moving isn't too stressful... Catch you on the other side!
