Do you view your yarn-in-waiting as stash or a collection?
I've always had a project or idea in mind when buying yarn. It was always stash- Sock yarn took me in to the "Duh, it'll be socks" mode.
Well, ahh... here's a few socks' worth:
This is Wollmeise sock yarn, and it has clearly brought me right to collection mode like no yarn before! It's an addicting yarn, indeed. The colors are great, and my often-worn Wollmeise socks show NO WEAR. That's right, no wear at all!
For the most part I have greatly reined in purchases of other yarn in the past six months. (Although I could certainly use a full year break!) This was a greatly needed activity because of the Wollmeise purchases *and* new yarn coming off the spinning wheel.
Can you see the tree reflected on the screen? I wasn't kidding about December~ :)

She's ALI-I-I-IVE!
Now I see the original Ravatar pic! In the little Ravatar, it looks like the skeins are hanging, like wineglasses in a fine restaurant ready to use: if wineglasses were in chromatic order. Lovely! I still am in the 'don't-want-to-knit-with-it-because-I-have-only-a-little' stage (remember, two of the skeins I got went to my daughters technically....) but I am working myself up to knitting with one finally. It's a psychological thing. Claudia is coming to the Loopy Ewe Spring Fling, so perhaps I might be able to get a little bit more and get over my psychological hangup then!
Just call me "Twisted" and you "Wollmeise" (though I do have a non-Twisted project on the needles right now, the YoYo's CashSport for sportweight socks, but it's a stealth project for my mom, so you won't see it on the blog until her April birthday). And I finished a pair of socks for my Dad and started the sportweight ones, which feel like cheating, they go so fast. What's become of me? All these socks? ;-)
These are all just so gorgeous! Someday I will manage to get a skein. : )
I also love your Stonehenge Cowl, it looks great!!
You just might addict me to Wollmeise yet!
Holy Shamoley.
I had no idea you had that many skeins of Wollmeise!! Uh, yeah, definitely a collection. Along the lines of the crazy lady who "collects" 115 cats.
Just kidding. :) Actually *insanely* jealous!
