Math challenged

Filed under: knitting, spinning-fibers, yarns — moiraeknittoo @ 2:00 pm

I know there’s some sort of mathmatical forumla that will tell me “If I use up X amount of stash in Y number of days, it will take me “ZZZZ or eleventybillion” years to use up what I currently have”. I’m too lazy to actually look this all up, but I do know that I need to move in May. And that I’d like to document the stash and get it up in a gallery. So in the event that I end up not having enough space to put all my stash out? I will know what I have and where I can find it.

This ambitious system implies that

  • a) I will be able to pull all the stash together in one spot.

  • b) I have enough room in one spot for all the stash.
  • c) I have enough battery power in the camera to photograph all the stash.
  • d) someone will be brave enough to come over and help me re-pack the stash.

I actually have the last point there covered - a work friend who doesn’t knit but loves organizing will help me next Sunday. I need to find some stickers and a marking pen, and make sure there are new batteries in the camera. I hope to label the bins with a number, document somewhere what is in each numbered bin, and photograph things as they’re “filed” away.

It’s a plan.

However, I picked up both new yarn and new fiber this weekend. I did mention I have poor impulse control, right? I made a journey to Sequim this past weekend with friends, and managed to squish three yarn stores and three..no, four bookstores into the intinerary in something like a 28 hour period. Yay go me.

Photograpic documentation of aforementioned impulse control to follow. Heh.

Of course, all this is really going to tell me is that I have a terminal case of SABLE, especially considering the rate at which I use up stash vs. the rate at which I am acquiring more. Me + math <> mixey things.
