Yarnography
I mentioned that pink and green are some of my favorite colors. My yarn stash (particularly my sock yarns) prove this point entirely.

Pretty yarns grow up to be pretty knits!
*What pink, green, and yellow yarns live in your stash? *
If you decide to photograph the yarns in your stash, let me know! Reference this post on your blog, or leave me a comment to let me know that you posted!
lots of great spring colors - that laceweight is amazing!!!!
I’ve got a picture of my pink/yellow/green stash up!! This should be a fun 2 months!!
What happy, cheery pictures! Like candy! For your feet!
I don’t think I have very much pink yarn in my stash. But there is a lot of green. Green is my favorite color! It looks like green is a big favorite for you too Lolly!
You have so many pretty sock yarns!
ooooh, so many gorgeous yarns! I need to look through my stash, but I did just order some gorgeous pink & green panda cotton.
Gorgeous yarn! Pink is PQL’s favorite color, and green is SWB, so we’ve got a lot of that going on at home.
Love the photos! As I have a lot of green in my stash, but not so much pink or yellow, I think Project Spectrum is a valid justification for adding just a wee bit to the stash — am I wrong?
Your sock yarns look yummy, one and all! I posted a pic of all my sock yarn stash in one pile (eeeek! it’s large!) last Sunday on “flash your stash day”—april 1st! A couple of weeks ago I also posted a picture of my “easter parade” socks (w/pink, turquoise and green), which were started during Socktober–LOL!
Beautiful stuff — I’m crazy about that Morehouse laceweight!
My April/May stash is blogged about at

And I just realized I also have that same Mama Llama sock yarn — now just to find it…
Lovely, lovely! I really like how the Trekking sock is knitting up - the chevron pattern looks like tulips in bloom!
Sexy yarn sister!
right then- I am off to order some yarn!!!!!!!!!!!! oooh- such lovely selection.
Fun yarns!! I’m just about to post the only pinks, yellows & greens I have which are all in sock yarns!
I think I need to spruce up my non sock yarn stash!
Hmmm… I think I need to buy more yarn.
Mmmmm…pretty colors.
Pretty stash. I got some green sock yarn here and there.
Will ask if they want to pose for you…as soon as the sun comes out.
I love your stash…I love that trekking sock yarn and I love your photography. You can see a bit of my stash on my blog, just scroll down a bit to ‘closing down sale’…I’ll add more photos later.
Drool! Nothing better than some yummy yarns! Ove the photos, thanks for sharing.
Um, if that Woolarina needs a new home, my address is…;)
Gorgeous photos of your gorgeous yarn!
Such pretty sock yarn! I’ll try to get a pic of my PS colored stash this weekend- I’ll let you know. Love those greens!!!
I think I need to do some dyeing for spring now. Those yarns look so pretty!
Nice stash. I actually plan to stick to the Spectrum colors for all of my Yarn Pr0n Fridays posts.
it’s fun to look at all your yarn - i especially love the mint green in the first photo. so pretty!
i just posted all my project spectrum-y yarn.
Such pretty yarns you have! I’ve just posted mine - like you all I have are pinks and greens (mostly greens). There MIGHT be some yellow lurking in the variegated greens, but that’s about it!
Lovely yarn. Looks like you’ll have some fun & colourful projects to keep you busy!
Oooh Oooh Oooh! Me too me too me too. I adore pink and green. Great stash shots. Me so jealous.
Oh my. Were you trying to make me drool? So much tasty yarn! Yum!
Love love love the colors of your sock yarns! i have some koigu sock yarn left over in my stash that i call the “daffodil colorway” - bright yellow, spring green, dark green, and turquoise. i’ve also just picked up some lorna’s laces self-striping sock yarn in raspberry and white - mmmm - can’t wait to start on those!
yummy yummy yummy wish i had this yarn in my tummy? nope, stash is the right word, even thought it doesn’t rhyme!
Beautiful! I think I’m going to loose sleep over that Morehouse Merino Lace! MUST. HAVE. THAT. YARN!!!
Your Project Spectrum posts are so much fun!
I put some pictures of my green, pink and yellow stash yarn up on my blog today!
You are I are completely on the same sock yarn wave-length.
Wow, that Trekking is a wonderful color. Knits up in spectacular fashion.
Lovely.
I haven’t photographed my socks in recent months but I seem to have an overwhelming collection of green and pink sock yarns too. Green has always been my favorite color, even when it wasn’t cool in grade school and pink has become a recent favorite. That Morehouse Merino Laceweight is gorgeous.
I love that Morehouse Merino lace yarn color–so perfect for spring!
Have a fun weekend!
I just bought the Noro Sakura (shown in cakes in your picture) in colorway 6 (your left colorway). I started making the Independence Top from the April 2007 Interweave knits with it - though, as usual, I modified the pattern a lot. This is probably one of the few patterns though where it will come out looking pretty similar to the picture, with the exception of the color and yarn. Nifty yarn. A bit drying on the hands. Great bright colors.

Hi Lolly! My pink and green yarns are in the link above. I also did the blue and white ones in an earlier post. It’s fun to see what we have for each color group!
Such pretty yarns! Thanks for the look into your stash. I posted some pictures of my own pink/green/yellow yarns on my blog, today, too.
I posted my yellow/green/pink yarns on my blog this morning too.
Yours is much lovlier. I love the Mama Llama. I’m gonna have to get me some of that!
I don’t have any pink, but I always pick yarn that has green in it - I can’t help it. Right now I’m knitting a scarf in Jade Cashmire Everglades colorway (all different shades of green) and a sock in Fleece Artist Sea Wool Glacier colorway (light green, tan and cream).
What beautiful yarns Lolly! So springy! (Even if it is wintry this weekend
)
I need to see what pinks, greens & yellows are in my stash.
Green is my favourite colour…I’ll have to post the photos of all my greens because dayum…it’s almost shameful how much green I have!
Heh, I found your blog through your flickr page, found searching for STR Hwy 30… I don’t suppose you want to sell it?!!

Oh wow — I didn’t realize that you had a “yarnography” category on your blog! Great idea! The yarn really is cooperative when it comes to posing — so many potential models are always waiting quietly for their portraits.
Thanks for mentioning the Yarn Cake Portraits group. It must be why the membership exploded all of a sudden a few weeks ago.
