Im becoming "That lady"

So, as I wrote last time, I'm addicted to these Stephanie Pearl McPhee books. They're hysterical and I've been devouring them and they've been fueling this yarn mania.

Chris and I went to Juniper Fiberworks today and bought 5 skeins of Wool/Baby alpaca tweed yarn for his hood/hat/neck warmer thing. I'm really excited to knit it up. New needles too. Hurrah!

Anyways, so I've been not only spending hours in yarn shops & reading yarn books, I've also been scouring the internet for new patterns, blogs, anything I can get my paws on about yarn/knitting/crochet/spinning, etc. Chris said, "Rachel, just because you read that lady's books doesn't mean you are "That Lady,'" Just because I said "I'm cataloguing my stash." yarn stash, that is. He just doesn't get it yet!

You see, I'm kind of like a pit bull (I know, Abby, don't be offended. I'm not stereotyping Hobbes and Julep) when I lock my jaws on something, I just won't let go! If I get a new interest, I'll dive head first into it until I'm swimming in a pool of Merino. Or, as it's been in the past, makeup artistry. A zillion makeup books anybody? Hours and hours at the Mac counter? Or maybe it's missions stuff and I'm researching every possible trip available for summer 2010 and the best priced airfare from Portland to Bucharest, Romania. Cheaper to fly from redmond? How many hours layover? I search for hours on end, sacrificing dear sleep to fuel whatever Im obsessed with at the moment.

It's a charming habit, really.

Anyways, I should be sleeping again (going to bed before 10 is my happiest time!) but again, facebook led to blogging.

So loved ones, Thank you for loving and appreciating my craziness. You can send any yarn information my way. It will be greatly appreciated.

Love, your crazy friend Rachel

P.s.

God is faithful! I had breakfast with Karina and it was so refreshing. Praise the Lord for good friends.
