First up are a few boxes of yarn which lurk in a corner of my room, under my bed. (Seein' as how I have a loft bed, this is not quite so bad as it sounds.) Even now I'm not quite sure what these all are. Most are from random thrift shop bags which had good happy yarn in useful colours from when I knit mainly critters and needed little bits of good happy yarn in useful colours. This yarn is not, for the most part, in good happy colours. A few look interesting but are all icky-like to touch.
Then there's this bag of yarn which is better and happier akrill and is kept elsewhere... but the handles were tied too tightly and I can't seem to get them undone. How fitting.
I also have a very pitiful-looking skein of Red Heart, about 1/4 used. Back in the Dark Ages of Knitting... during the first few months before I turned stitch-twister... I knit a scarf. Mom told me to knit a scarf for my aunt. I did. It took a full skein of Super Saver, plus a bit of a second. After finishing that, I banished the to the bottom of a box. A year later, I found that yarn again. The horrible memories being mostly faded, I turned that yarn into my PC practice yarn - the skein kept next to the computer for when I needed to try out a particular stitch pattern. It served me well for many months. In early December, it also served to cover up personal information when I posted my SAT score report.
Then came that delightful Sunday morning in the middle of December when the teenage drunk driver navigated the Fence and Tree Slalom and ran into the house. The yarn slept peacefully on the computer table as it usually did; then the table went a-slidin'. The sad skein can be seen in this picture, center bottom. It and many other contents of the table were swept away into a box, which has yet to be found again.
Mmm, eyelash yarn. I didn't think I bought much... it just happens. Not that about 6 balls, plus a few leftovers, is much.
Finally, the full-ish skeins of Red Heart and Wal-Mart incarnation of the same. They're kept in a box on the very top of a bookshelf; taking the pictures was acrobatic enough. I ain't moving all the dyes just to get the correct colours on this.
I'm not sure what all of these are. The Omega yarns were Hobby Lobby closeout; the other blue lumpy stuff was Luff's sale basket (yarn shop in Norman, Okieland). I guess they don't really belong on this page, but I can't figure out where else to put them.
