As an official member of SYAC, it is the time and place to come out of the stash closet and admit to my transgressions. I am a sock yarn addict. In an attempt to tame my sock yarn addiction, I have joined many other fine women in the noble pursuit of reducing my stash, freeing up space and consuming fewer plastic bins.
I made a earlier declaration here. Unfortunately, I lapsed, fell off the wagon, binged, and once again fell under the spell of the fingering weight siren's call. It is my fervent prayer that this is a temporary lapse, and I will remain strong*!
I ask you to appeal to your higher power for strength and fortitude both for myself, as well as the other brave women who have pledged to abstain from the high that is sock yarn.
Eight skeins added during the binge to the previous 67,
plus 3 on the way. Official total 78 pair.
*For the next 90 days, then we can forget all about this self-control nonsense!

You surely don't really want to use all of that sock yarn do you? I'm sure some of it is unhappy and wants to run away to my house~

What's the purple and yellow? No. No don't tell me. This whole thing is hard enough as it is. I love the bouquet!

Oooohhh!! Pretty! Can you give some more details? I would fail badly if I tried a SYAC. Sock yarn is one of my favorite things ever.

Love the bouquet! Maybe I should convince my hubster he doesn't need to bring bouquets of flowers and boxes of chocolates home. Bouquets of yarn are so much prettier and last a longer time.

By presenting your yarn so beautifully, you don't give us all much incentive to support you in your efforts to reign in your accumulative habits. So pretty! (Using lots of flower pots would be a fun way to do a complete stash flash.)

I just had to pop in and say I love what you wrote on Cara's mason/dixon contest about running around in a cotton shower. NOT very many people have ever done that. It gave me a lump in my throat. Awesome Dixon entry. :)
