You know you're a yarn addict when...
The highlight of your day will be the UPS delivery of your latest yarn binge purchase online. I've tracked the package obsessively for days. Didn't want to spend the extra cash for fast delivery, but I keep hoping that UPS has been overly pessimistic in their estimation of how long it will take that box to creep from Vermont to western Washington. They haven't been. Of course.
But, it should be here any time now. I've got my dogs out on the back deck with me, so they won't scare the poor delivery person when the doorbell rings. I've got my Ravelry "stash" page ready to upload with yarn data and pretty pics. All this despite the fact that I have no immediate plans to do anything with this new yarn.
I'll justify the excitement with the thought that most of it will go towards a fair-isle sweater. Since I bought it online, on the cheap, I have little idea what the color values are and how they will work together, so swatching will be in order. Thrilling.
Then I'll have a whole other bag lot of yarn, enough for a different sweater project. Oh, the possibilities.
Meanwhile, we all know that those beautiful balls will end up in my closet bins for the next few months or even years. Ah, well. It will be there when I want it, which seems to be the entire justification for the concept of stash.
