| Applique Stocking Sample |
1. I own a whole heckuva lot of yarn.
2. The stash is about the same weight as my dog. Max is a German Shorthaired Pointer, Labrador Retriever mix. Think your average 8 year old child.
3. My children become concerned when they see the entire family room furniture and floor covered in yarn, when I'm sitting in the middle, head in hands, saying, "Maybe. Maybe."
4. While purchasing yarn I have largely disregarded my allergy to wool.
5. I really DID buy a ton of Cascade Pure Alpaca about a year ago. I just found it again after looking several times.
6. While purchasing yarn I have made a great many dubious choices.

| Tweed Faroe Mitten. Why? |
Why would I buy one skein of cashmere that is only 60 yards? Why would I buy tweeds for a Faroe Project? (Yes I did. There are pictures to prove it.) Why did I store the stash in so many different places?
How could I lose track of making Christmas stockings for my children, and just quit after designing and knitting a sample? Why would I store FOs in with the stash? When did I ever think I would use acrylic for anything except baby blankets? Why is my darning egg in with the bulky yarns?
This makes me think that a few years from now, while re-sorting the stash, I may find more unanswered questions. Will I be wondering why I made so many cowls? What was my obsession with mittens all about? How much sock yarn does any woman need? What the heck was I thinking the last time I sorted out the stash?
