In my continuing efforts at self-flagellation, I've updated my stash inventory on Flickr. Each photo contains hover notes re: yarn, amount, project, and other comments (click a photo to access):
This will be my last guilty yarn post for a while, promise!

I really enjoy your blog! I just stumbled into it a few weeks ago and now I check it all the time.
Posted by: Lesley at April 30, 2005 9:13 AMHey Jessica,
I love the color of your Cash Iroha - what # is the shade?
I just made the cutest wrist/handwarmers with 1 ball of cash iroha in a spiral rib pattern found in Last Minute Knitted Gifts. Maybe you could make those and then with the remainder figure out how to adapt the pattern to make a matching hat. It's a pretty pattern and the wrist/handwarmers are so cute!
I was thinking of making the hourglass sweater too and was looking on ebay but I think I may need 12-13 balls, so those 10 ball packs don't help me. I can't believe you had a few leftover, you must be tiny! I am 5'10" and a size 8-10, so although I haven't figured out the bust size thing yet accounting for ease, I'm pretty sure I'd run out with only 10 balls, especially since the pattern corrections specify that people have needed and extra 2 balls or so. If you want you could maybe sell me your extra skeins of it - if they match a dyelot of a 10 pack on ebay, I'll have enough for the sweater.
Thanks for sharing your stash!
I have that same Noro Kureyon. It's currently on the needles becoming a bag to be fulled/felted. Kureyon felts up to be very soft, so maybe something felted?
And, hi! I'm new to your blog, which I ran into on a Google search for Cash Iroha. :)
