My stash contains lots of lovely one-off skeins that I just couldn&amp;#39;t resist at the time.  They need smallish projects so I will do as you suggest and consider my box of single 100g skeins first before starting anything new. My excuse to myself has been that one day I will knit a truly random blanket full of beautiful memories - except now I can&amp;#39;t remember when or where I bought them.  Anyway.....I, too like to have three things on the go.  I even keep a small thing in the car in case I get stuck while out. I was in a stationery queue for three hours recently - imagine how frustrating it would have been If I had no knitting to do!

This will not surprise you given England/Scotland.  I knew I had a lot but when I figured out I have enough for 47 projects and that there will be wool (sometimes a lot) left over, well ...  I have set up a &amp;quot;shop&amp;quot; on My Ravelry Stash pages to hopefully keep me focused.  Basically it&amp;#39;s my inventory.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am also addicted to knitting trips now too, so in June I am going to Iceland, where you know I will be buying some lopi and some Love Story, some new lace-weight Icelandic yarn by Helene Magnusson.  Helene is leading the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck ... And lots of support from Peterborough!
