Awwww, love, true love. Just what exactly has the first spot in your heart? Ok, after we answer with the obligatory (and, oh so true) significant others, friends, family and God, what else can you not live without? For me it would have to be my ever growing stash. Some knitters are disciplined and buy yarn for one maybe two projects at a time. 
Knit them and then purchase more. Some give into occasional temptation and buy on impulse. And, then there is me. I think I can best be described as a yarn horder. Like some demented squirrel, I am stocking up for the possible disaster in the future that might wipe out all possible sources of yarn in the world. I'm not sure what disaster that might be but, I'm sure some evil group is probably working on it right now. In any case, I am ready. I can knit on for years - maybe my life time from my stash. Don't believe me? Well, we don't know each other very well but I'll share a photo of just one part of my stash. True confessions (I won't tell on you, if you don't tell on me) how much space so you devote to yarn? Does your spouse or significant other know? And, if not, do you feel any guilt as you hide your treasure?

Hi, Robyn. I'm Elizabeth, one of your daughter Katie's professors at Southwestern. She told me about your blog, since I'm also an obsessive knitter. And yarn hoarder. I delude myself into thinking that mine all fits into three plastic bins, but that's only after they've been shrink-wrapped, and when I'm honest with myself, I admit that there are many other skeins lurking in other parts of the house, just waiting to eat small children... I'll look forward to reading about your continued knitting adventures - and hopefully meeting you in person sometime.
HI MRS MEAD!!!
It's been pretty much forever since I last saw you! Hope things are well and you're enjoying the new puppy!I love this picture! I am working on learning to knit... i'm still very bad and most everything I've attempted to make turns into a misshapen pot holder. I love your blog! It's sooo cute!
