Goodbye 2008!
Hello 2009! Last night we took it easy – Chinese take-out, gave Lorelai a bath, played some Wii Fit (I rock at Super Hula Hoop! and we unlocked a Bubble game!) watched “Death Race” (which delivers as it promises, even in the first 10 minutes!) and saw the New Year in. Promptly I tore into my new “Page-A-Day” calendars:
The year shows promises of being cute and amusing (observant? witty? sarcastic?)!
Yesterday I was trying to organize a bit. I have had my sock yarns in two separate boxes for a while now and in trying to make space on the bookshelves for more books, decided I would consolidate the sock yarn to an under the bed-style box. (41 quart size) I tried to arrange the yarns in a sort of color spectrum, which didn’t quite work. I also found 5 sock WIPs that I want to take care of this year. I’ve got quite a bit of yarn stuffed into that box, so I thought maybe it would be interesting to have a contest. Here are photos of the box:
With the WIPs on top of the yarns.
The Left side of the box.
The Right side of the box.
Side view (you can see it’s not just one layer of yarns!)
And the box without the WIPs on top.
I’ve got an extra copy of Alt Fiber to give away! To win it, take a guess at this – How many skeins are in the box? I haven’t even counted myself yet! Leave your answer in the comments and on Sunday, January 4, I’ll announce the winner 🙂
I am going to guess 124? I am horrible ay guessing but love entering contests anyway!! Happy New Year 🙂
Oh my goodness gracious me oh my! That’s a whole lot of yarn, darlin’!I stink at this stuff, but I’ll guess 125.
Thatsalotta sock yarn! I’m sure I have at least as much, but I have mine stashed in small quantities throughout the craft room. It helps keep me in denial about how much I have. :-)I’m going to guess 73 skeins…
My my that’s quite a nice mix of yarns. My guess….65.Gotta love Wii Fit! We haven’t mastered the bubble game yet, but have come oh so close a few times.All the best of the new year to you.
Hmm… I’ll go with 56.Happy New Year!
41.Happy New Year! 🙂
I’m guessing 46.Happy 2009!!! 🙂
I’ll guess 57, and happy new year!
I’ll quess 45. Happy New Year!
I’m going to go with 60…Looks like fun though… love a stash!
someone took the number I was thinking, and since I don’t think this game is going to work like the price is right ($1)I am going to say 50
I am going to guess 59. I am not very good at estimating the amount of something but I am giving it a try anyway!
i’ll say 75 skeins. Sure is a lot.
Oh this is fun!!!BUT I am terrible at this… i say 48? AND I now realize that my STASH is LOUSY! geesh!
I’m guessing 83…can’t wait to find out how many there are!
86. Have you counted yet?
