Check out this link!!

Ok, I couldn't resist posting this link:

It's the hugest stash I have ever seen, and based on the comments, bigger than most other people have seen, too. Honestly, I think that Bonney's stash room might be bigger than my whole house!! It will be perfect to show dh as he has just made the comment "You have SO MUCH yarn!". Ha!! It all fits into one 4x6' cabinet!!

No Sheep Yarn Swap follow up:

I got the sweetest Secret Pal, whose name I now know is Sheila. She's got a cool blog, and looks like even an online store: knithouse.blogspot.com

Last month Sheila sent me some 100% pima cotton from Ulster, Ireland (plus some Wyler's "koolaid" to dye it with...but it's way to gorgeous to dye--I'll dye my KnitPicks Bare with that!) and this month I just got a skein of Svale (heard about but never seen that before) AND some 100% linen, again from Ireland. I am so lucky to have gotten such a great yarn pal!! Sheila's really neat, a talented knitter/crocheter/designer, and I'm so glad I've met her! I'll post pix of the yarn soon.

I must say, my downstream yarn pal, Debbie, is great, too. We have so much in common and email each other frequently, regaling each other with stories, and getting Rogers & Hammerstein musical songs stuck in each others' heads. I think I've made lifelong friends of both of my yarn pals!!
