I have purchased some yarns from Taobao, a China online shopping website last year, and finally I have received them two days ago (as my friend helped to ship them to me).
I got a shock when I looked at the amount of yarns I have bought. I didn't count how many balls of yarn I have bought, and when I calculated them, there are 131 balls! I helped my friend to buy 18 balls, so I have 113 balls of yarn!
I always like to roll them into yarn ball, so I don't know how much time I'll need to do that, but I'd be happy to see them into yarn balls soon. 
This is the first time I bought so many yarns.....

Perhaps I can teach kids how to knit.
I bought them from TaoBao (the China online shopping site). I think it's easier for me just buy a lot so I don't need to always go and purchase and worry about the shipping again. I don't have any plans yet, but usually I just make some toys for my children. Now I just started to knit many washcloths for our own use.

@scheng1 Yes, I think I haven't been around for quite some time. I am spending time taking care of my baby, and also working on some software projects. I am still learning how to manage my time better and get everything in balance.
Glad that my two elder children can take care of themselves most of the time. 
How about you?
I am trying to cut down my time to do knitting and crocheting too, as I'll need to focus on something else. Yes, I am knitting dishcloths or washcloths now, then later I'll make hot pads for my kitchen. I started to knit/crochet more for my home, instead of just my kids.
I also started to crochet rug from old t-shirts. As for pillow case, perhaps I might do some in future. Thanks for the suggestion. I always think pillow case is nice too.

@infatuatedbby Thanks. But I just know how to do research online and learn from other talented people, as they always share the patterns online, many even for free.

This is the first time I bought the yarns from that particular yarn shop, I am quite happy with the service and the yarns too. Perhaps I'll just buy from them again in future, as I am always lazy to go and search for shops that are good.
I have already made a few toys and washcloths with these yarns. I'll try to post them here.

Hard to believe that you bought so many yarns. I wonder whether you need to knit the sweaters because your country is very hot My mom knitted a sweater for our stuffed bear and it looks so cute. Perhaps you also knit for the toys rather than your children?

Do you know what you'll do with all of it - or even some of it? You have some pretty colours there.

How much does it cost per pack?
These yarns are great in making handmade crafts for kids and for display. I used old yarns to make pencil box containers from milk tins, greeting cards and mini pouches.
Do you crochet?
