Top Ten Stash Excuses

by Alison Trembley-Boucher (Bella-online)

Are you having difficulty justifying the size of your stash? Simply give one of these reasons next time someone asks you why you have so much yarn (like we could ever have too much)! Enjoy.

1. I joined one of those yarn of the month clubs *5/10/20/50 years ago, and I keep forgetting to cancel my membership.

2. My pet sheep thinks he's a cat, but instead of fur balls he coughs up skeins of yarn.

3. My son married an heiress to a yarn company fortune, and this is her dowry.

4. I got one of those chain letters that said if I sent a ball of yarn to the next five people on the list, Id get *50/500/5000 balls in return. Well imagine my surprise when it actually worked!

5. You know the saying, Say it with flowers? Same idea, except my husband/wife says it with yarn instead.

6.Im actually an undercover agent for the FBI (Fiber Bureau of Investigation), and Im working on a case. Debbie Bliss and Meg Swansen have kidnapped Lily Chin, and this is part of the ransom.

7.Oh, this isn't mine! The local yarn store ran out of room, so I'm just storing their extra stock for them.

8.Someday I plan to buy a small island and incorporate it as a country, then use yarn as the national currency. So I dont really think of this as a big pile of wool, but rather as my retirement fund.

9.I forgot to have my wools and cottons neuteured, and before I knew it, theyd multiplied!

10. I read somewhere that you can lower your risk of getting cancer and other diseases by increasing your fiber content. And I must say that since I started buying more yarn, Ive never felt better!

*-Pick the number which best applies to the size of your stash.
