My yarn has been complaining about the cramped conditions it has been living in: plastic bags, plastic bins, segregated from all the knitting tools. There isn't enough space. The alpaca has been sharing space with the cottons, and the sock yarns are in with the lace. It has had enough. It was time to shop for new digs, and so house shopping commenced.
We found a great little house, and, drumroll please, it has an enormous walk-in cedar closet! Most people would look at this as a great place for winter wearables, but as an avid knitter all I saw was a perfect place for my stash! I downplayed it while talking to my husband about the place, but when we decided it was "the house", there was a definite happy dance done for the cedar closet. There are is also a huge built in cubby system in the same room, and plenty of room for all my favorite knitting books, knitting chairs, magazines, and swatches and samples. Organization and workspace in the same room! I'm walking on air. I came home and told the yarn, and I could tell it was happy. Every fiber will be in its place with plenty of room to breathe. We're scheduled to close on Friday.
And then the phone rang at 8:02 this morning. There's a delay in the closing, and they have no idea when we can reschedule. My poor stash will have to remain in its bins and plastic bags a little longer. The knitting tools will remain tucked in nooks and crannies in multiple cabinets. How much longer? It's too early to tell. I can hear the cedar closet calling to me, telling me not to lose hope. I'm reluctant to break the news to the yarn.
