In the process of making room for new projects I am letting go of 28 skeins of novelty yarn and a wonderful book, One Skein by Leigh Radford.
Just like many of my passions, collecting being the biggest, knitting took over my life for the last 10 years. I am not saying that I don't knit any more, because I manage at least one or 2 projects a year.... but there was a time when I was turning out 1 or 2 projects in a month! During this time my other passion, collecting, kicked in and I was unable to pass an interesting skein of yarn with out snatching it up.
For at least 5 years this basket full of yarn has been a fixture under my worktable, quite honestly, I really liked looking at all those wonderful colors and textures. A couple of years ago I purchased this book to encourage me to work my way through the stash.
...alas no needles were put to yarn.
In case you have not been following my blog, a new passion has taken hold...embroidery and needlework...and I am off...collecting and filling baskets and there is no room for my feet under my work table!

I love the pom pom scarf too. a few years ago, selvedge magazine had a beautiful cover with a pom pom scarf which was spectacular. They had a feature in the mag on pom poms.
Hi Kathy~ Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment about my sweet little redhead! (:
Oh I can sooo relate to your collecting obsession! I have it too, only mine falls in the paper, paint and pencil arena! I have no room in my craft cupboard. I so envy anyone who can knit and crochet... wish I had allowed my grandma to teach me how years ago when she offered... but alas I was too busy being a tomboy and would rather be outside with my horse. I've always wanted to take some lessons in recent years, and even tho I can't knit... being the pack rat that I am, I absolutely love to look at those lovely piles of yarn ... texture and color is always irresistible! (: Have a great weekend!
wow, no i had not seen this - i'm more taken with the cupcakes though!
