Last night after finishing my Granny afghan I was too wired to sleep, but didn’t want to wake D or Jo, so I decided to go down to the family room and inventory the two huge totes of yarn I have in the corner! OMG! In case you were unaware, a characteristic of ADHD is that you lack item permanence. Quite literally, out of sight, out of mind! I have so many cool cakes of yarn I had forgotten all about! Including the Caron Anniversary Cakes which are massive! How does someone forget 1000gm cakes of yarn, let alone 5 of them?! Or superwash wool hanks in a color called Roy G Biv?!
Of course I had this epiphany after I got a door buster ad for Joanns where I could get the Red Heart Super Saver Ombré yarn I’ve been wanting for a low price of about $6.19 a skein including tax. So of course I ordered it in a rainbow of 7 colors and in order to potentially use it for the Study of Ombré Afghan pattern I had to get 2 skeins of each. So another 14 skeins are going to be joining the stash later today.
I’m not sure what my next project should be. Perhaps the Yarnspirations Farm Fresh Market Tote made from a cake of Caron Cotton Lava Cakes? Just kidding, I’m already on row 1!
