Why Stashes?
Was at the Delta (Sacramento RIver Delta) this past weekend and started
a new knit throw blanket. Guy walks up with a dog, and I LOVE dogs, so we start chatting. He asked what I was doing and I said knitting. He said his wife is addicted to the hand held electronic card games. Perhaps he should send her up the dock for lessons, since at least there is a product at the end, instead of another trip to the store for batteries. :-) Jenn in CA.

The Great Yarn Fairy sent me a nice bit of yarn. Why is that ball of yarn precious to me beyond its financial value? I really do not know why I would put so much more effort into planning a knitting project that uses $20 worth of yarn, than I put into planning a evening at the theater that will cost me $20. But, I do! I treat a $20 bottle of wine more casually than I treat a $20 skein of yarn. And I really do not know why. I am not sure that learning to spin will cure my irrational protectiveness of yarn. I am not even sure that having my own sheep with fleeces piling up in the shearing shed would cure my irrational protectiveness of the yarn in my stash. Aaron |
