The joy of Yarn....

I have a Lola cartoon clipped and on my wall at the office.

It reads:

There’s nothing to do. We’re snowed in. The picture is of a house with snow up to the window.

Scene moves to the kitchen; balls of yarn roll across the floor and out of closet not unlike Fibber McGee’s. (dated myself didn’t I?)
Why don’t you organize your stash?

I will as it becomes necessary.

I have committed a great sin. I have bought more yarn.

I don’t know how or why it happened. I was looking for orange yarn to gift a dearest one and there was this lot of over ten pounds and then the same seller had a bigger one of greens and then they emailed me about a friend of theirs with a store on Ebay that had some unusual cones and now ….

Now I have over thirty pounds of mostly read heart in greens and oranges and pinks and another 30 pounds or more on the way next week.

I get euphoric when the yarn arrives. I love to pull through it and sort it to put together projects!

I know what I will make with it. I just need the time to get it put where I can find it easily and then go knit it.

I figure if I make myself I can get the shelves up in the small bedroom in a little over a week. Not a daunting task. I can do it.

If I win the lottery or PCS and I get started within the next few months…. I can get it all knitted up by the time I turn 100.

Come on lucky numbers!
