15.35 Miles
Oy! That's how much yarn I have in the stash. . . 15.35 miles. And that doesn't include all the yarn associated with the *many* WIP's. (Or all the 'cheaper' yarn I got in moments of weakness at the mega-craft stores, or the load of superwash wool I got on eBay a few years ago, or. . . )
Last night I made the mistake of having a latte after dinner. So when I came home and saw the post over at GirlReaction my mind started racing. I have a great love of spreadsheets, so I dragged out the stash and started taking notes. After midnight I was all finished. 15.35 miles -- it boggles the mind!
In other news, the greatest thing *ever* happened today. People came over and cleaned my house. Okay, why didn't I get a cleaning service before now? I'm in heaven!!!!
35.75 miles (not counting craft/garage sale/no name stuff either). I'm embarassed to admit that as an accountant, I have always had my stash detailed on an excel spreadsheet. I have calculated, but never disclosed the linear total before! LOL

Oh my! I have no idea for my own yarn, but I DO have my entire library catalogued, including topic, location, whether I've read the book or not . . .

Just shuddup about the cleaning service, will ya? I'm afraid to know how many miles of yarn I have, but I don't THINK I have anywhere near 15 miles! Please tell me it couldn't be so!

I totally love spreadsheets, although databases excite me even more. I'm such a nerd for that sort of thing. It's all so organized, and I love me some organization :)

That's a lotta yarn. Of course I've never actually figured out how much is in my stash. Now that may be my next project!

Spreadsheets scare me! I'm a lawyer because I don't do math. You don't have to do math to be a lawyer - it's a good fit. I have a cleaning lady too and it's the best money I spend every month. I'm not sure how I ever got along without her. One thing's for sure, if you don't have to spend time scrubbing toilets, you have more time to knit!

Cleaned the house? I have a vague memory of what that is. But I'm sure I'd love to have some else do it for me. Yes, definitely sounds wonderful!
How did they manage around the 15 miles of yarn?

This is what I should have been doing the other night when I was up until 3am! Although I am a little worried to actually know how many miles...
