More Crocheted Things

I have been trying to locate a lot of pictures of some of the crocheted things that I have made. Unfortunately, I really can't find too many. I will be posting them soon. Tonight thought I will be posting some WIPs (Work In Progress), some WIMs (Works In Mind) and info about my stash. My yarn stash that is. I would buy yarn that looked neat but not get to do too much with it. Or I would store it under the couch and forgot it was there and bought more of the same color. We got a new couch so we can no longer store anything there so it is all in storage now. Or at least a lot of it is. It is almost embarrassing to say that I counted 150 skeins of yarn. A bunch of them are small skeins of fun fur or other eyelash yarns.
I promised myself that I would not buy any more yarn until I had made a significant dent in my stash. That is why I went out and bought 4 more skeins today. But in my defense, they are usually $5-$6 a skein and they were $1 each today. I couldn't resist that! Besides they will make a nice scarf.

I am on http://www.crochetville.org/ and have a blast with the swaps. I have just joined in two of the CALs (Crochet-A-Longs). That is where someone is doing something and sees if anyone else wants to join them with the same pattern. That way people can ask questions if they are stuck or at least have some motivation to continue. The ones that I have joined at the Thread Snowflake CAL and the Simple Yo-Yo Squares Scrap Afghan CAL. I am not sure how many snowflakes that I have already but I will see about finding them all and posting a count here. I do have 23 yo-yos done already in cotton yarn.
Below is a list of my WIPs, WIMs, and CALs. Any my yarn stash counter.
