Can’t crochet my way out of this

Well, sorting has come to a standstill. One of the things I want to use and go through, vs. discard and get rid of, is yarn. I like to make blankets or scarves. I’ve made scarves for probably every extended family member. I used to make baby blankets, but I don’t do fancy enough things that they were very appreciated, so I don’t offer them much anymore. The last crib blanket I made for a grand-niece took over 100 hours. It was appreciated, but in cases where they are not, I don’t see the point of wasting that much time for something unwanted. So the rest of the time I usually make blankets for animal shelters or rescue groups. They aren’t as picky as to the colors they want, they’re smaller, don’t need to be “heirloom quality” and I’d like to think the animals generally appreciate them, if the humans don’t get in the way. Don’t get me started on that. The point is, having a slight yarn/crocheting addiction for decades, one starts to pay attention to sales and clearance items, and one can start to accumulate a little bit of a “stash” that’s generally larger than one would go through quickly. I’ve made about 19 animal blankets this year, and one large crib blanket. I estimate 1 pound skein of yarn can make at least 4 animal blankets. Each blanket probably takes at least 10+ hours. Arthritis des not allow me to crochet more than an hour a day, and sometimes not even that much. Although I enjoy it, this is not an efficient way to reduce or go through things. A friend gave me some space-saver vacuum bags earlier this year, and ideally, I should sort through things and pack them away in those bags, to at least reduce the volume. But that involves going back to the dreaded storage unit. And sorting through such bulk. Is it worth it to have everything wonderfully organized, or should one just cram it in and make it as small as possible and get through it? What if it’s 90% organized, and then I find things that belonged in bag #1, and I don’t want to have to go re-pack everything because the bags are already loaded to capacity? Is it worth the effort and frustration? That’s a whole other story about the arguments that ensued about still having it, how quickly to go through it, or whether to keep it and start packing up other items so we can move by next spring, due to the increasing cost of rent. We cannot afford to keep paying 10-15% rent increases every year when our income doesn’t go up that much. For all I know, we might need to move into an apartment much smaller, and pay the same amount as we do now. So that’s another dreaded discussion and unhappy possibility. Thus I should really get back to finishing the stuffed animals, but that created other family arguments, so that’s part of why that stopped.
