Flash Your Stash 2006
The Second Annual Flash Your Stash Day is April 1, 2006!
Spread the word!
Yes! It IS that time of year once again for the great Flashing of the Stash.
How to play:
Sign up in this post (leave the URL where your stash pics will be located). Take a pic or 10 or more of your stash. The works, some favorites, get jiggy with it. Show off those mad yarnography skillz!!!1eleven1!@!
On April 1st Post the photos to your blog, or image host, share with the rest of us. Go stash hopping. Enjoy the Yarrrrnography.
This year there will be a special fiberly prize for the hottest YarnPr0n.
Q&A:
Do I have to be SABLE to play?
Remember kids, there are no small stashes, only small knitters. Or uh, it's not the size of the stash! It's what you can do with it *insert other applicable adages here*
What does SABLE mean? Stash Amassed Beyond Life Expectancy.
Can I see an example about what the you're blithering on about Zib??
Soitanly - Elizabeth's stash album from last year is here. My entry is here. Googling "flash your stash" will give you other fiberlovin examples.
What's the prize and who descides on the best pic?.
A hank of one of my favorite fibers and me. (unless somebody wants to donate to the prize stuff then they get to decide too, if you want to add to the excitement message me).
I don't have a blog, can I play??
Sure you can, just post your url where your stash will be posted on April first in this thread and I'll add you to the list.
Button button who's got the button?
Note: Buttons must be saved then uploaded to your own server
Last years generic FYS button is here.
Domestic Overload er lord has whipped us up three fantabulous buttons to choose from and one from Penny_Karma and one from aquaknits!:
More blog bling is welcome, if you want to make one for the occasion feel free to do so then send me the link or button and I'll add it to the list (:
Last year we had approx 60 participants, and thousands and thousands of hunky hanks to drool over from a distance. So who's in?
"Life is too short, buy more yarn."
Post a comment here if you would like to be added to the participants list or to the Flash Your Stash thread on the Knittyboard (registration is required to post there btw).

The stash around here is kinda cheap and rather small...
But I'm happy to indulge its exhibitionist streak.
Posted by: aliastriona at March 9, 2006 01:02 AM
