Oh , I just love your stash , I get quite excited looking at it , is there ANYTHING better than lots and lots of yarn ? I am sorry but something happened to your comment on my Hidcote shawl, I pressed the key and ------- NOTHING , it is somewhere in the ether . Yes wouldn't it be great if we were 'paired' in the knitters treats ? I have had so many comments on your gorgeous wee sock , it is still on display , I think eventually it will become a Christmas Tree Ornament .
Okay, now I can point Tony at someone else when he raises his eyebrows at my stash! LOL!
We could also give away some of the yarn if we could think of a contest ...
awesome. now when my husband complains about all my "string," I can show him this...
