ON THE BACK BURNER

I feel the need to buy some yarn. It was all that I could do to not get in the car and go to my favorite yarn store. My problem is that I have what we knitters and I guess anyone who loves fibers, call our stash. I have a stash of yarns. Some left over yarns, not enough for a whole project, too nice to discard. And I have lots of some yarn. Enough to do a sweater, if I wanted too. But ,like an addiction, I wanted to go to the yarn store and buy more . I checked the clock. If I held out for a few hours, the store would be closed and I would be safe. I read a book instead. The book is good and I got through the hours until the store was closed and I could relax. I could have gone to Jo-Ann's or Walmart for my yarn, but I like the speciality yarn that only a few yarn stores carry. The kind of yarn that makes you blink when you see how much they cost. But I'm worth it. I figure that I don't smoke, I don''t really drink, I don't shop until I drop,I don't do a lot of things anymore, so I can indulge me in really beautiful skeins of yarn. Now I have to think of a way to use up some of what I have because I have this urge to just go and buy yarn and start another project. Is this what addiction feels like.
