Y is for YARN

In the beginning someone, somehow, someway figured out that with a piece of string and a couple of sticks,
a piece of cloth could be made that would someday send a specific section of the worlds population
 into a FiberComa and Knitting Stuff Addiction. 

 Most everyone knows what Yarn is, so I won't go into the specifics of how it came to be or the
 in's and out's of getting it from Sheep to Shop! 
 I'll just get right to the Fiber Coma and Addiction part of being a Knitter and YarnAHolic!
Yarn is kinda like Potato Chips!  One is never enough!
A well rounded Yarn Stash should have the following:
  1. 2 or 3 skeins...4 would be better...of every color of yarn known to woman kind.
  2. a variety of weights like Fingering, DK, Sport, Sock, Worsted in basic color palette and then some zingers.
  3. one can't use 100% Wool on everything, so gotta have silk blends, acrylics, cottons and whatever else is the latest in the world of YarnArama!
There's more, but I think you get the picture. 
The worst of it is I haven't even begun to touch on the horrible side effects of having a YarnARama Stash!
  The Tools, Gadgets, Bags, Books and Stuff!

    The thing is, I never intended for this Yarn Thingie to get to the Coma and Addiction Stage! 
    It's not like I haven't been there before!
    Before I became a Yarn Junkie, I was a Quilt/FabricAHolic!
    I was the Queen of QuiteALot of Everything Quilty!
    Some might say I still am, however after lots of
    Fabric DeTox and ReFocus Therapy that Stash is what I call Busted!

    Now I am ReFocused on managing my YarnARama!
    I have it down to One Knitting Blog
    One Wednesday Afternoon a week Knitting Group and
     One Monday Night a Month Knitting Guild Meeting.

    Two Rooms and One Nest at home.
    and  

    A Few Several Untold Number of Works In Progress.

The best thing about being  Strung Out on Yarn!!!!
My Great Yarnie Friends!

Stop HERE and Smell My Roses

What do you suppose happened this Fall and Winter that would make the
Four Bush Rose Garden produce these Amazing March Blooms?

Just look at them....don't touch or smell yet...I'm saving that for last!
I mean, the Roses have Bloomed before the GRASS is even all greened out!

I was afraid Ya'll might not believe that they came from My Four Bush Rose Garden,
so I've photographed them with my Geraniums and Peppers and the Four TomatoBush Garden!

And with the FourBush Rose Garden and my laundry in the background!
I know that's Believeable since Ya'll know from experience that on
somedays I don't know if I'm washin' or hangin' out!
It was a beautiful day....so I was doin' both!

Okay...Go ahead!
