I am hoping one or two knitters will come by and just take the whole stash. I have enough other Stuff to get rid of, the yarn is just a fraction of it. <BR/><BR/>It's funny how the urge to buy yarn online is basically gone. I get all the catalogs, thumb through them, and stick them in the recycling bin.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862784896982818464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-20099447903693649622007-04-21T01:22:00.000-04:002007-04-21T01:22:00.000-04:00Oh my.

The boxes from Elann and Webs and all the rest were such good "therapy" when my husband was sick, and while I still like a lot of my yarn, there is a LOT of it that's been going. I am not doing a yard sale, though, because that was my husband's pet thing and I'm just not ready to do one without him. Good luck with it!mehitabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855340553296575495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-76804247289448760172007-04-19T15:15:00.000-04:002007-04-19T15:15:00.000-04:00Shhhh, I'm Decrepit when I want someone else to cl...Shhhh, I'm Decrepit when I want someone else to clean the attic!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16862784896982818464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-72484800101226000902007-04-19T07:57:00.000-04:002007-04-19T07:57:00.000-04:00You are SO not decrepit!You are SO not decrepit!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641412845416537768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120696498216284839.post-66706031739321136992007-04-18T19:38:00.000-04:002007-04-18T19:38:00.000-04:00I thought about eBay, but I have so many other thi...I thought about eBay, but I have so many other things to do the thought of standing in line at the P.O.

The body's capacity to heal is amazing, isn't it? <BR/>I know that you have a lot of work ahead of you in getting everything set to sell the house, but I thought you might want to consider listing your things on the DeStash blog http://destash.blogspot.com/index.html. I realize that might be more involved than you want to get with it, but you might recover more of your investment if you go that route, or perhaps someone would be willing to trade for something you would like to keep. Just a thought.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260851051364548085noreply@blogger.com
