My yarn stash goes back years.
It's grown over the years.
That stint of working at So Much Yarn for a little over a year really gave it a boost.
Mom's find a couple years back of all the cashmere, merino, and silk in the basement of a consignment shop gave it a super boost that still makes me dizzy to think about...
I remembereverything most of the stuff I buy and why I bought it.
There were a few that I questioned my grasp on reality when I picked it up.
There was more that I said 'Oh, I remember when I bought you, don't worry, you'll still become something fabulous'
Last night I had to dive deep into the stash.
Really deep.
I told D I was going in and that I might be a while.
He told me to put up a beacon so he could find me if I didn't make it out.
I was looking for the 6 skeins of Ultra Lite Alpaca I bought four years ago to do a colorwork pattern that I never got around too... I didn't even have the pattern but I knew I had those six skeins and I want to make Kate Davies hat Peerie Flooers for M and I thought maybe, just maybe that yarn would work...
so out of the closet all the tubs, crates, and Ziploc baggies of yarn came.
D was off somewhere in the house, steering clear while I was happily rummaging and singing to myself and the dogs when all of the sudden I shouted out;
'WOO-HOO JACKPOT'
Then I hear D chuckle from wherever he was hiding...
Not only did I find the yarn (I knew exactly where it was) in the back bottom of the bottom bin in the back of the closet, they were the perfect colors. I tossed in a ball of Knit Picks Palette Mist as the background color and just couldn't contain my thrill...
It's perfect.
