I have decided that my stash is truly taking over our lives. I say ours because it is also affecting the rest of the family in the house. There is yarn in totes piled in my sunroom, there are boxes and bags of yarn in the spare closet, and then there is yarn in large laundry baskets in the living room, heaped to capacity. And I don’t see how I could possibly part with any of it. Most of it was bought with a project in mind but I haven’t gotten to that project yet. And then the LYS is going out business or moving or something because they are having a huge sale. So what did I do? Went and bought some more because it was on sale.
I think I am a yarn junkie.
Anyone else feel like they are yarn junkies too?

Welcome to the blogs, Kelly! :muah:

I am a fellow yarn junkie. I have over 1000 skeins of yarn in my craft room, and I buy more all the time! :teehee:

I didn’t know that I had over 1000 skeins until I did my yarn inventory in Ravelry. Now, I get excited when I get more yarn, because I can take another photo, and add more to my Ravelry inventory! :roflhard: It’s like a contest or something!
