This is from an email I received earlier this week from the Knit 4 Charities group from Thelma.10 Reasons to Buy Lots of Yarn
- It insulates the cupboard where it is kept.
- It keeps the economy moving. It is my patriotic duty to support wool farmers, textile mills, and yarn shops.
- It is less expensive and more fun than psychiatric care.
- I'm participating in a contest - the one who dies with the most yarn wins!
- It keeps without refrigeration, you don't have to cook it to enjoy it, you never have to feed it, change it, wipe its nose or walk it.
- Because I'm worth it.
- Like dust, it's good for protecting previously unprotected spaces in the house, like the ironing board, the laundry basket, the dining room table
- It's not immoral, illegal or fattening. It calms the nerves, ratifies the soul, and makes me feel good.
- Because it is on sale. Because that is such a beautiful colour... I've never seen it before... I must have it.
- Buy it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions.

Ha! Ha! 3, 5, 6, and 9...DITTO!!! ^_^
Number 5 is a good one :) I also like number 8.
I don't have to worry about number 10. Mark often encourages me to go buy more yarn stash! I guess I am very lucky to have a partner who enables my obsession with fibre!
Sounds like me and cross stitch threads.
It is kind of like candy, all the pretty colours tempting me. :)
I know exactly what you mean Marita. Its almost like they call out to you and say 'BUY me!'
