This photo provides incontrovertible evidence my house was invaded by the advance occupying forces from Planet Yarn.
The invaders appear to be winning, don't they?
Taken last summer, this snapshot shows the dining room table, chairs and credenza. Every surface is covered – with yarn, swatches, notes, patterns, test knits, finished projects and work in process.
Equally disturbing is the knowledge that outside the frame there's a large bin of yarn full to the brim, and two additional chairs heaped with more swatches, notes and pattern options. And that's just the dining room.

You call that chaos?! I couldn't even find my camera to send a photo of mine. In fact, would you please send a search party for me?
ReplyDeleteGreat article, see you at the next support group meeting : )
p.s. I will have to use the alien excuse next time. I also have been invaded in my kitchen
Hang in there, the search party is on its way ...
