    Zowie, that's a find for sure, hope that all came from a smoke free home. Sorry smokers, that yarn really picks up the smell so easy. Former pack a day smoker here.

    Nikosan - I saw that one too. I think I was just awed by the pile collapsing in front of the door.

    The second one is absolutely over the top too.

    I love seeing things like this. It makes me feel that my stash is really very moderate, why, hardly a stash at all! (However, I am NOT going to pile it up by the door and take a comparison picture!)

    To be honest, having that much would be too overwhelming for me. The thought of all of that yarn in my house has me feeling twitchy.

    Me too. I'd probably be driving down the street tossing out skeins to random bystanders on the sidewalk.

    OMG!!! What in the world are these people thinking??? What if they had put the money they spent on all of that in their savings account??? They'd have quite a little sum! I don't get it!
