yarn-a-holic

I like to buy yarn....lots and lots of yarn.

I have yarn in bags...

Yarn in baskets...

And of course yarn in my dresser drawers...

I buy cheap 3 balls for a $1 yarn and sometimes the finer $10 + a skein. I’m not prejudiced; I am an equal opportunity yarn hoarder.

A recent find was this beautiful hand dyed 100% alpaca yarn that I scored in the clearance section for a mere $2 a skein. How could one pass this up? I bought 6 skeins each, hopefully enough to make 4 scarves, but usually I have no project in mind when I make my yarn purchases. I buy simply for the pleasure to buy.

Someday I plan to create a big pile of yarn in my spare bedroom and just roll around in it like leaves in the fall, but far more colourful.

I am a good dobie though when it comes to my finances. I always pay my credit card off every month and as I made such a transaction this weekend I was compelled, by some force greater than myself, to make a yarn purchase. So I went online...

$100 later....I have a problem. Just when you think you have this thing beat, it rears its ugly head and calls out to me.

Hey...I could be addicted to crack.
