I read your posts (on my phone) as they were published but I found it hard to type on my phone so postponed my replies until I was near the computer. Much more reliable. <br /><br />Like you, I've been on a "yarn ban' (or 'wool control' as Jo so beautifully puts it) as well. It isn't easy but I have been making progress with stashbusting. Again, like you, just as I use up a quantity of yarn, someone else comes along and gives me more! <br /><br />As frustrating as that is on one hand, on the other, it must be easier to bear when it is beautiful yarn like yours. What a privilege to have a man in your life who appreciates a good yarn as much as we do. That is definitely newsworthy! I look forward to discovering the fate of your latest stash.

Some men are, unfortunately, not Self-Actualized, and see intelligent, well-spoken women as a danger to their Paternalistic Power Structure. And in Washington, D.C., anything that challenges their Old Rich White Man = Boss formula scares and horrifies them.<br /><br />Thanks for the Olbermann link.

I love them all but love the top one and the Rock Candy Mt. one as the colors are eye-popping! I agree with you on the horrible way that Senator Elizabeth Warren was treated. I am going to call the Senate and complain. We donated to her not long ago so I'm on her email list. I hope she runs for president in 2020!
