Variegated and the Yarn Stash

I was looking at my projects on ravelry the other day and noticed all of them are variegated and the funny thing is I cannot stand variegated yarn. When I first started crocheting, hand-dyed yarns were just coming out and the big thing. I had a full-time job then so I built my stash with all the fascinating variegated yarns and now I am stuck. I really prefer matte solids now but I have all this stripy stuff. I'll just have to work through it.
