I went through my yarn and my 'knitting corner' today. I have more yarn than I plan to use...well, maybe it's not that there is too much to use, it's just that I don't have use for it...but I just can't let it go. I did manage a paper bag (grocery sized even!) of yarn I plan to give to a friend and the kids. But it pales in comparison with the super sized storage bags full of yarn. I seperated plain old acrylic-worsted weight from the novelty and mixed acrylic from the natural fibers. It's scary. There's a lot I'd actually like to get rid of, but then when I can't afford to buy new yarn I'd be stuck in yarn drought and that is a scary, scary place to be. I also have more knitting needles than one human being needs, but I won't get rid of those. Seems like it's just not right. I can collect needles right? If my husband can have boxes and shelves of superhero and comic book figures why can't I have a stash of knitting needles? Mine take up less space at least.
On to the even more frightening part. I can't find my "my so called scarf" wip. It's been in the second drawer of my knitting cart since before X-mas, patiently waiting for the holiday to be over so it could come back out. It must have gotten tired of waiting because it has disappeared (needles, yarn, project and all). If anyone has seen my lost WIP, please return to owner, no need to get the knitting police involved. I have more of that yarn, but I'd really like to not start over, especially since the needles went with it, and I really like those pointy needles even if they are aluminum.
