It's different when you organize a kitchen. I don't feel a great urge to wash floors and scour sinks when I'm sorting there.
But, going through yarns and other fibers, I just realized I still had quite a bit of my lovely Goats Magosh roving, set aside when allergies struck last summer.
And oh well, there's a spindle started, and I'm just sayin'.
I've knitted up quite a bit of my handspun making Izzy dolls. So clearly I need to keep up the supply. Don't I? Don't I?
Your first sentence made my laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteNot that I relate, or anything.
Hah.
Can't think why..
DeleteDon't you dare give this away. It's lovely, and plushy, and it isn't as if you're going into prison where toys are not allowed, you know.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a keeper! Toys aren't allowed in prison? In that case I'm not going.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a good thing to stay out of prison, if only because you can't have toys. And of course you need to keep up the yarn supply!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. To both. At this point I've had to fight off the temptation to make artist books, piece, weave, draw, and now spin. All because of handling the materials. It's hard!
ReplyDeleteThis is why it's hard to reduce a fiber/yarn/fabric stash. Just seeing everything is inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI have promised myself that once all the crates are in their new home in the spare bedroom, test drive to see if I need a two bedroom rental, I will be spinning again. And continuing with the stitching in abeyance. I do knit and crochet at my groups, though, so I'm not totally deprived.
ReplyDeleteLoving all the comments above, I'm relieved to know you've decided this fiber is a keeper. It is beautiful. That said, I would have bit my tongue had you said you rehomed it, as I know how difficult (even disappointing) to find myself rethinking a thing after I've made a hard decision. Looking forward to hearing about your move into new digs. I need inspiration to keep moving me in that direction.
ReplyDeleteThe new digs won't be for a while. I'm doing this in easy stages. But I'm looking forward to a new adventure.
