Two minds are better than one, and all that. We ended up using the version of the button that required no new skills whatsoever, but I'm so pleased I learned something new anyway! More playing in Photoshop is in my future.

I am with you all the way Knit Sistahs! (and Knit Brothers, although I have none in my own circle)

A very timely and pertinant statement that I will embrace with enthusiasm. Thankyou!

Genius, both of you!

My stash is not that alarming, but my fabric stash is ... scary.

Nevertheless I shall continue to feel no guilt.

i have been relatively free from guilt because my stash was really quite small in comparison to others, and i was on a pre-birthday embargo anyway. this, i have been told, has been lifted. i assume this means i can now go koigu mad with no shame. thanks guys for the idea and the button, its going up immediately!

Good idea. Still a bit too prohibitive for me, though.

Yay - I'm so glad someone did this - see - a stash of knitters!!!Perfect!

Brilliant idea, well done ladies!! Good job on the button too :D

Well done! I've been looking around for something like this for quite a while now, and the manifesto the two of you have come up with is just perfect.

I've successfully installed the button in the sidebar of my blog, and have written about the concept here to do my small part to get the word out.

Is there a companion 'No Guilt Stash' group on Ravelry?

Fantastic idea! I feel no guilt about my stash. In fact, the only guilt I feel is about calling it a stash because it is so small in comparison to others I have seen!

Hallelujah! I've never had stash guilt, as my stash is still well and truly in its infancy, but I am totally on board with this!
Three cheers for Amy and Bells!

Well said.

Excellent...I'll have to get Mate to copy that to my blog!!! (I don't learn new computer tricks...I forget them immediately...)

here here !
but I need to extend it to my fabric as well - after all, the yarn is only one wardrobe but the fabric has its own room,
catsmum | Homepage | 11.01.07 - 8:28 am | #

Yay for guilt free stash. I don't usually feel guilty because I truly believe that the yarn in my home will become cherished gifts that cradle my loved ones. Now I won't ever feel guilty. Thanks you all!

now that is something I need!!!! we are moving house and today I had to clean out the stash! holy smokes with all my yarn, fabric, crafts I've almost filled the whole room and thats not including the patterns!

right I'm going to do this! glad I'm not alone and I'd just like to say its generally husbands that lay the guilt on you in the first place!
