I CANNOT understand why you don't show up on my bloglist and thought I'd solved the problem last time by 'following' you on Google Friends but nope, had to add myself to that too! Anyhoot,Mer, I'm sorry you've had such a time between one thing and another, especially that awful situation with Little Buddy's photo being misused. How distressing for you all. I'm so glad everything's fixed now. Congrats to your Handsome Boy too and 4 hours away isn't so bad. At least it's not another country away!

But really. It's a good love to have a little out of hand. You do so much with it, it's not decoration. The amount you are able to create with such a full active life with kids of all ages and intense work. I just want you to enjoy it. :) Knit Happy, Mere.elnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654199835246576704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-78046960061093834282015-05-27T00:13:19.194-04:002015-05-27T00:13:19.194-04:00Nice stash of yarn.

First, ...Ho, I don't even know where to begin! First, you call that a yarn stash - seriously girlfriend!!! Wait until I post a photo of my yarn stash... I know I should be ashamed of myself but I'm NOT!!! LOL! I just love the squishy soft feel of a nice skein of yarn in my hand! And oh the colors... how could one let all those colors remain homeless? LOL! And then, remember, I also have unspun fleece, hmmm come to think of it some of it still unwashed straight off the back of the fluffy creature that makes all that luscious wool for us!!! LOL!<br /><br />I am jealous with a capital "J" over your container plants! Clearly you have a very green thumb! We just had a frost last night, hopefully the last for the season but that means I have probably another week before I can safely plant in my soon to be raised garden beds.<br /><br />Wow, son graduating! I'm assuming this is number two and from highschool?! They grow so fast!

I bought some yarn for mittens a while back and printed off a pattern. Then I bought some yarn for a cardigan and printed off two patterns. Then I bought some yarn for a blanket. So far they're all sitting on the shelf. No time! So I can see how a stash evolves. It's a slippery slope! But well done on your plan to not buy any for a while.

I did this before we moved from Kamloops two years ago. I looked at every skein and asked myself if realistically I was ever going to use it. If the answer was no I either offered it to a friend who is a knitter or took it to the thrift store. I really should have another honesty round. I think there's even more stuff i could get rid of. I love having a stash, but have decided that life is too short to have it filled with stuff I'm not all that thrilled with. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-33075416964147556792015-05-22T22:20:59.041-04:002015-05-22T22:20:59.041-04:00We all seem to accumulate a lot of things that we ...We all seem to accumulate a lot of things that we probably don't need.
