Not out of the woods yet...

I think there can be a point of working too much. For me that came about 4 years ago last week. My job is okay. We've all read about that before. It could be a lot better. I've been at my job longer than my supervisor. Sad. I've had two title changes in the last two months, which is nice and about time. However, I am still sick, not nearly to the outrageous fevers of last month, but coughing sneezing, etc. My lung hurts. Last week I worked perhaps 51 hours or so? This week I think will be normal, but I'm wiped. I'm still sickly. My co-workers have commented on it. But...enough about that.



Today, I received a lovely gift from Knit.Eat.Sleep...yarn...wool...beautiful. Part of some unstashing she was doing, and I will always adopt yarn.



However, this has caused a dilemma with my stash boxes...a need for another stash box. I will have to acquire another one soon. For now I moved my roving and spindles to another space on my bookshelf.



This also caused the need to reorganize my boxes. As well as the thought stupid OCD that I may need to rewind some of my yarn.


Also, I remembered since this is such a yarn porn post, that I have not shown off my latest acquirement of soy yarn from Colorful Yarns, by far my favorite LYS so far. One skein of Tofootsies (sp.) with chitin in it. Soft! and another soy silk, 2 skeins lace weight. Enough to perhaps take on a shawl. I have been much better about leaving the tags with the yarn I wind so I know how much yardage I have, a mistake learned from Estes Park last summer.


I also picked up two more skeins of Malabrigo, by far the most fun wool I've gotten to knit thus far. I love the colors, they're a dark purple and wine, but you can't tell from this picture...and right now I'm to lazy to dig them from the bottom of my reorganized box.
