Wasting yarn can be made to sound as bad as wasting food. Think
about all those kids without socks, and you are wasting yarn!


Oh, dear, Aaron, it sounds as though you were subjected to a sneering
comment or two in your time!


It happens. I took a pottery course once and found out that I had trouble
making pots big enough, because I didn't want to "waste" too much clay on
only one pot. As if clay were some kind of limited resource. I'm more
relaxed about yarn, possibly because I'm not being graded on it. When
a significant other is sneering and judging, it can cause severe distress.
(I might reconsider the relationship in that case, but I'm not the one
involved here.)
