So...You think you have a problem???

I know that in the grand scheme of things having too much of a good thing cant really be all that bad for a person...I tell my self that every day. and you know what? i still keep on building up the stash. Now those among you who are not knitters will look at this picture and think that i have lost my ever loving mind...

    And who would disagree? no one in their right mind really needs this much yarn just hanging around! right?
Well truth be told that my mother collects Santa Clauses and she is only seen as quirky...not crazy. Even though her little tiny apartment is loaded down with Mr. Clause everyone is willing to indulge the habit because they "kinda" understand it?
But a ceramic Santa isn't gonna keep you warm at night (please! don't even go there!!!)
Lets face it! all this yarn is just something in the waiting! A beginning about to begin!  Its sweaters and socks and hats and who in their right mind would ever turn down a sweater? or socks? or a hat? Cuz that would be crazy! right? 
Well perhaps this one picture is not the whole story...you see this is only one part of the stash. The rest is scattered about the house in bags, baskets and boxes (I swear i did not do that on purpose) Now when i say scattered what i really mean is that the stash has really outgrown the house and we are running out of room to live. Its not funny, and the "others" in my house have had just about enough of the foolishness. I really don't understand what the problem is with them because i have taken great pains to arrange everything as attractively as possible! The fact that we had to move all the books out of the living room and into my sons room really didn't hurt him at all. I believe that it was my knitterly way of encouraging him to read more, expand his mind, gain knowledge!  
But those among you who are knitters will understand. You will look at my stash and know that it is not really all that big. There are bigger ones. Everyone knows that there are bigger ones.
