Finally, we are moving the end of June.  Moving = Packing.

This weekend I packed up the majority of my stash... gently touching, petting, and then packing each skein.  You would all laugh at me if you knew how many boxes leaving my studio were filled with yarn and fiber alone.  I laughed at myself really :P

Oh Glorious Yarn Stash!  How I love thee.  I dream of projects to be made out of each ball and skein, like promises of enjoyable knitting to come... someday!  There are yarns of every weight and color, and I love them all!  And then there are the bags of fluffy, light, wonderful wools.... Don't get me started on spinning fiber.  I might have to unpack it, roll around in it, and have a little yarny nap in it!  That might put the packing schedule a little bit behind...

There may not be many Yarn Candy Monday Photos for a little while until I am able to unpack my toys.  Rest assured however, that I have an extra large basket of my very favorite yarns at the ready...  Just because I'm moving doesn't mean I won't knit this month!  The knitting may be the only thing that saves my sanity....

I am considering getting one of these adorable little Critters... so I've been stalking admiring photos on the net of these beautiful Angora Bunnies!  I visited a Breeder last night who lives not far from home... and I showed extreme pet-momma restraint and did not take any bunnies home with me (repeat:  I will not take bunnies home tonight, I will not take bunnies home tonight... )  though there will be a litter of kits born soon.  I would really like to have one (Please Mommy?)

Anyways - Happy Friday Everyone

Got Dust Bunnies in your houses?  I have some in mine, but they look nothing like this:
