Is it wrong for me to say...

I want to add to my sock stash! Sure I have Lorna's Laces, Koigu, Socks that Rock, Cherry Tree Hill, Fleece Artist, and Claudia Hand Painted. But I don't have Sunshine, Yarn Pirate, sKNITches, Yarntini, and Vesper (my deargoodfriend Minh is helping with this last point :) ). These are essentials in my view! It's okay because I have a feeling that I will only knit socks this summer while I'm California for my internship simply because I won't need to take my entire needle collection and the yarn is portable.

I recently bought some plastic boxes to organize my sock yarn so I will flash my stash soon! I'm so afraid that some little critter will eat through the plastic bags that its in now. Oh god, how awful would that be! Thank god for boxes!

I also want all the ones you mentioned. It's like a compulsion to collect and stash the stuff, isn't it?

Yeah i think you are right! I want to have some of everything. I want some of each of the good brands. I want some of each of the solid, self-striping, and variegated etc. I think the Loopy Ewe is supposed to have some yarntini, sKNITches and yarn pirate soon. Also I think Knitterly things is coming out with a new batch of Vesper soon. I can't hardly wait!

I can be your sock yarn dealer if you need a fix... I've got yarn pirate and sunshine yarns (in addition to the vesper knit and tonic coming your way) ;)

no i can't take more yarn from you! do you also have penchance to knit and/or sweet sheep yarn? i was wondering what you thought of those. i think i like the indie yarns... there is something appealing about them being less mainstream or something. maybe they are not less mainstream but just harder to get.
