10 Reasons to Buy Lots of Yarn

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
  1. It insulates the cupboard where it is kept.

  2. It keeps the economy moving. It is my patriotic duty to support wool farmers, textile mills, and yarn shops.

  3. It is less expensive and more fun than psychiatric care.

  4. I'm participating in a contest - the one who dies with the most yarn wins!

  5. 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.

  6. Because I'm worth it.

  7. Like dust, it's good for protecting previously unprotected spaces in the house, like the ironing board, the laundry basket, the dining room table

  8. It's not immoral, illegal or fattening. It calms the nerves, ratifies the soul, and makes me feel good.

  9. Because it is on sale. Because that is such a beautiful colour... I've never seen it before... I must have it.

  10. Buy it now, before your husband retires and goes with you on all your shopping expeditions.

  1. 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!

  2. Sounds like me and cross stitch threads.

    It is kind of like candy, all the pretty colours tempting me. :)
