Using up my Stash:)

As you all have seen in my earlier post I have a lot of yarn.. A NICE BIG STASH. So I keep telling myself you really need to use up this yarn, I think I am having separation anxiety when I think about it. So as I was crocheting up my 6 inch granny square for a swap I'm doing with http://hooksandyarns.blogspot.com/   and I was thinking why not start another WIP, yes another one to add to my collection, and start making squares up to make a blanket or something.. So here is my start so far. The great thing about making the squares are I feel like I have accomplished something  though I do feel quilty when I see my other WIP under the end table calling out to me for some attention. Oh is the life of a crocheter hahahhah...

    I have been thinking the same thing...."I need to start using up some of my stash." I have so many small crochet balls that would work so well making granny squares and what a pretty afghan it would make!!! Oh, but the anxiety weighs heavy. LOL
