Too much yarn... is there such a thing?

I have been buying yarn lately. A lot.
Too much?
Is there such a thing?
Well, maybe.
In my defense, I do buy with actual projects in mind, although I think it would take me a few years to get to them all.

Instead of seeing balls of yarn, I see possibilities. There are sweet little baby blankets and wooly mittens, animal ear hats and a cozy autumn afghan in a shade that reminds me of gingerbread.

It's like the yarn is calling to me. "I would look so cute in a baby blanket with that green, pink and white you already have," said a ball of orchid recently. OK. It didn't. But it would look perfect with those colors and I did buy it.

Also, I broke down and bought some pompom yarn. It was on clearance. It was hot pink. It was just calling out to be made into a plush round rug for the girls' room and so it shall.

I've been trying to avoid the craft stores, but I've had to go to pick up supplies for my Etsy shop, justyarning, where I sell the products of some of my yarn binges. Of course, the yarn is there in the stores. So much of it I resist, but who can say no to it all? I have not the fortitude.

Nevertheless, I carry on.

I'm just about finished with a really pretty cowl I plan to list in my shop. It is this great blue and beige color scheme with eyelets all around. I already made the gloves, so now I have a set. Yay! I bought the yarn a few months ago without a project in mind, but I'm glad I got it. It works up so beautifully.

Here's a photo of the gloves. I love these colors. So soft and warm.

Of course, there are those unfinished projects laying around. I usually do finish projects, but sometimes I get a fantastic idea and will drop everything to figure it out. Like the gingerbread afghan. Eh. I think I'm ripping it apart and starting new with something else. Shrug.
