Bryna sent me this link to Mochi Mochi blog the other day.... It's...it's .... the mother of all stashes. I've never seen anything like it. I am in awe.
In the interest of full disclosure, here is my own yarn room. Not even 1/10th of Mochi's mother in law...
As you can see, I have 5 clear drawer bins of yarn. (Can you see the blue and pink classic elite in the top drawers??)
And then I have a couple totes sitting around with yarn in them....
But that's it, I swear.....
Well, the short sleeve top I have been knitting out of the Cotton Glace is coming out too big. I did a gauge swatch and got a gauge of 24 stitches to 4 inches on size 2s. The pattern calls for 25 to 10 cm. I thought that 10cm and 4 inches were the same....but after finding that I was 6 cm to big on the back of my sweater, I looked closely at the tape measure and 10cm is actually about 1/8 inch shorter than 4 inches...thus the huge difference in my gauge. Anyhooooo.....I am swatching now with size 1s and getting a much closer gauge. The question is this....can I knit a whole sweater in size 1s????

Wow, an entire sweater in 1's. I can't even fathom knitting a hat in 1's. If you succeed, I will be duly impressed with your mad skillz!
(By the way, I envy your yarn room! My next house is going to have one, doggone it!)
I am so jealous of your stash room I can't even put words to it.
