What is a Yarn Stash some of you may ask. It is pretty much, Stash Definition. Stash (n): A knitter's supply of yarn, conveniently prepurchased and placed in the home of the knitter. Times like this I am very happy that I have one. I am not sure if I have mentioned this in other posts. I knit chemo caps or hats for people that are going through chemotherapy. I am very happy to knit these chemo caps for the wonderful charity "Knots of Love". They send out the chemo caps and hats that fellow knitters or crocheters make by hand. I have always felt that I needed to do something with my life. I am so happy I can use knitting something I love that helps me cope with my Bipolar Illness. I am in the process of knitting Men's chemo caps.
The reason why I bring up my yarn stash is that I was afraid I was running out of the color I am working with. I went over to one of my yarn baskets, ( I have about 5-6) different containers that I store yarn in. I found not one but one and a half skeins of yarn that I am working with now! I might be able to get three more men's caps out of this yarn I just found! I also located another skein of yarn I use for soft sleep caps for women! I love the yarn for the sleep caps, the only problem is that they have stopped making this yarn. So this will probably be my last sleep cap for awhile. I try to send out at least 8-10 caps a month. I hope to continue making chemo caps for the rest of my life.
