I realised that's I've used (most of) 10 balls of yarn. Let's gloss over how many balls of yarn are in the two boxes of to-be-used-up stash, shall we?
Rookie! 
I have three dressers full of yarn, organized by colour, a large basket of chunky weight, plus a bin or two in the closet of the spare bedroom. Not to mention other various crafty type stuff.
When I do something, it seems I go whole hog. I have oodles of boxes of canning jars, too. I will use many of those this year and if I have extras, I will probably be able to sell them for a pretty penny; I have a feeling they are going to be in short supply later in the summer when all the people who decided to try gardening for the first time also decide to try canning for the first time.
I read "A Stash Of One's Own", and realised that I needed to knit up all the non-good stuff, and then the good stuff, and then...
I can go out a buy
quality stash!!
I, too, have canning jars!! I occasionally move an box, and it clinks, so I then realise I have more jars than I realised. That's not including the boxes [and boxes] of jam jars... I
plan to be brutal, but this year is so up in the air, I'm reluctant to let stuff go until "normal service is resumed".
Kimpossible: I am using up [slowly, see posts above] some baby yarn that was described as "layette"; it's very nice - 4-ply??? One thing I would say is that there are some lovely patterns on Ravelry [why would I need to know about pointed hats? Just because?], and some even used chunky wool, so I think you could use anything you liked.
One friend [before I started knitting again], was really pleased when I gave her baby daughter some clothes: I'd bought the next age (or two) up from "newborn baby", and had included some non-pink items [think: purple, aqua, pale green/blue] - she said she had so many newborn clothes, but no next step, and pink was coming out of everyone's ears by that point. Just an idea, to make a change from white or "blue for a boy, pink for a girl"?
