When stash becomes quite a big problem! ....
Now I am not usually at all judgemental when it comes to podcasters flashing their yarn stash, or showing their latest hauls, infact I actually enjoy watching them! I believe that if you are can affort to purchase more yarn, then no one should be judged on what they spend their money on......however, I have just had to switch off 1/2 way through a 'help me organise some commercial stash' podcast simply because it made me so overwhelmed! It was cringeworthy!.....Rachel is the podcaster and she lives in the UK!...
This podcaster had hoards of yarn stored in every room in her home! The only room she didn't mention was her bathroom/lavatory, which I wouldn't be surprised if she said she had yarn in there too! She has it stored in her living room, kitchen, hallway, on her landing, in her and her husband's bedroom, and also in both her children's bedrooms (they are bother 10+). And as she was going through all this yarn, and talking about how overwhelmed it all makes her feel, she was also showing another haul she had only received days earlier and talking about yarn that was on its way!
This was the first yarn stash/tour/haul video that I actually had to stop watching because I felt uncomfortable watching it! Has anyone else felt like this, and what do you say or do!? In my experience, I have only ever seen viewers leave comments like, 'wow, what a great stash!', or telling that podcaster 'to try and not be too overwhelmed' - but is that helping really them or just 'giving them the ok' to keep on adding to their stash, which is obviously making them overwhelmed, thus making their problem bigger?
