I’m obsessed with yarn. I love yarn. I came home tonight and here was my order from Herrschners. A friend gave me a gift card from there so I handed it to Vicki and said, I need crochet cotton, you know the colors, and whatever is on sale.
This is the result. Now most people see just a bunch of yarn. I see smiles, hugs, and appreciation. I see hours of enjoyment as I listen to a book and crochet. I see dishtowels, pot holders, dish cloths, scarves, make up pads and more.
There is so much potential in this one small box and so much happiness for me and for others. I am sitting here saying I will not pick up the new yarn and make stuff because I already have four projects in progress and I need to finish at least one or two of them before I start new ones – right? Maybe…
The colors are exciting. The textures are exciting. The hours of just enjoying myself with the goodies in this box are exciting. One might assume I am a little excited about this box.
It’s a little box and a little thing but I know it will bring a lot of happiness. The items made from the yarn in here will be useful and appreciated. I can’t wait to dive in and play around with the goodies. I have to wait … I keep telling myself I have to wait. I have other projects to finish before I start with the new yarn. I must resist the temptation – am I convincing anyone else?
Tonight I’m supposed to be working on a manuscript. I have two I’m working on that are in progress. I should work on writing and not crocheting. I could pull up the next JD Robb book and listen to it while I work on one of the projects. Maybe I would finish the project so I could play with the new yarn tomorrow. But I have those two manuscripts. Oh the war of responsibility and the desire to play with new yarn.
I’ll be good. For now. Maybe…..
