Don't let me on ebay anymore - too much yarn to tempt me!
Went on ebay on Sunday morning.... and I am now richer by 6500 yards of laceweight wool yarn.
Do not even have a project in mind. Have not ever knit in laceweight. The colors just drew me in... reminds me of the scene in A Bug's Story where the bugs are drawn in by the light... and get zapped. :-D So my stash is now growing exponentially. So much for keeping up with my yarn. _Elsa |

I know the feeling! I just bid on 3 more lots of yarn last night.
I have an entire linen closet full of yarn that I haven't used, I'm expecting a delivery today, and maybe by the end of the week, I'll have won more. There sure are some gorgeous yarns up for auction there though. Kelly "Elsa" wrote in message ... Went on ebay on Sunday morning.... and I am now richer by 6500 yards of laceweight wool yarn.

I have to tell myself that there will always be more yarn... but I usually succumb
to greed and the joy of acquistion. I bid on another 2 lots of yarn. I have been outbid on one lot, and I must admit I am somewhat relieved... though I now have my eye on some lovely alpaca yarn... Must be strong, must not surrender! :-D I am such a yarn addict. _Elsa news.sonic.net wrote: I know the feeling! I just bid on 3 more lots of yarn last night.

I think that must be it - the joy of acquisition. I think I'll have to
actually use some of it before I get more. Too much more and DH may notice it. Project Linus - here I come. I'll allow myself to start bidding again after I make them 3 blankets.

Just remember that there is no real SEX on eBay. No torching, no feeling,
and no smelling before buying. No afternoon in the City afterwards. ... No lunch in town with friends.....No viewing the Macy's Christmas Window Decorations. No stroll through the new exibit at the Art Museam. AAAHHHHOOOWWWW, after adding in the shipping, STASH from eBay may not be inexpensive. On the other hand; the other day I bid for a bunch of Lopi in a color that I would never-ever have picked up, and certainly never have purchased in a yarn store. I won at a ridiculously low price. Then I found out that once the yarn is knitted up, it produces a really lovely effect. And, of course no LYS carries this color. And, of course even after shipping costs, the price was half what the local LYS gets for any color of real Lopi. (Long story, but my Dad wants real handknit Lopi socks for Christmas. The way their household works that means a couple of pair for Mom too! I figure I might as well ship 3 pair each. With all those soft fuzzy socks on the drying rack, my wife wants some too.) Bottom line: I went back to eBay for more Lopi. Alas, now, I too have pounds of wool wending its way though the PO to me (I hope!) (Mmm, there may be enough for a sweater or two and socks for me g) Good thing Lopi knits fast! I would not have time to finish anything in laceweight before Christmas.

I bought my first ebay purchase recently; 150g of mohair and 200g of something which looked black, sparkly and soft, but is in actuual fact *very* soft, and slightly variegated rathe than black.
