Oh, I Got Your Yarn Porn Friday...

First off, thank you all for participating in yesterday's poll! The feedback was largely encouraging, so I listed the skein for sale at the shop. We'll see. It's nice to change things up at the wheel once in a while, too, so spinning different stuff is fun for me. If nothing else, the colors make me happy, so just having the skein in the room kind of cheers me up.

So! How's about we just get a whole year's worth of Yarn Porn over with in this one post?

Yeah....

(Hee - I just noticed the little drowning-in-wool lamb at the bottom of the pile on the left; not even sure how that got there! "Save me from the irony!!" Lambykins says.)

I finally stopped being a petulant and crappy Beta tester last night, and committed to photographing, at the very least, my sock yarn stash for Ravelry. (I was fortunate enough to get an invite way early on, before I even had heard a word about what the hell Ravelry was - and how glorious it has turned out to be! - and it has taken me forever to do my part. I think I'm afraid of getting totally sucked into it, so I've been resisting...but I'm wearing down...)

So yes, that's my sock yarn stash. The wool of it, anyway. Didn't get the cottons done...

If you'd like to drool over peruse the whole thing, skein by skein, you can do so at the Flickr photoset. I really do have some great stuff - I feel fortunate. And I love them each so very much - I realized when I was uploading the photos (PS: LOVE the Flickr Uploadr) that I could pretty much rattle off the brand and colourways of almost all of them from memory. And yet I have no idea where my favorite shoes have gotten off to... So check out all SIXTY EIGHT pictures on the photoset. (Oh, and I missed a couple - I think my Socks that Rock from the April club shipment might have ran away...I took it off the shelf, but I see no photo, and I don't remember putting it back on the shelf. I'll probably find it stuffed under the bed a month from now - wool gremlins.)

Other than that, not much going on here, other than my current obsession with planning our newly-and-suddenly-imperative trip to either Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or New York in December. (I'm thinking Vegas, but it could change...) Why? Oh, you know why. (Is my generation gap showing?)

This weekend? RATATOUILLE!!!!! Wahooo!!!!

(Edit: Or, cancel all my plans. This week's clue for the Mystery Stole came out - I only have to work the first ONE HUNDRED ROWS of the damned thing by next Friday. Gack.)
