A day in the Life of a Yarnho

I was up until 4am due to a much needed midday nap. Yesterday was a tough one so I just shut down. When I finally fell asleep I was too tired to get off the sofa; life won so I just passed out.

Fast forward to this morning, when I was awakened by the phone. I talked with my eyes closed because I didn’t want to get up, I was still feeling..EH. The phone call was brief and the plan was to go back to bed and sleep until I felt better. Picture this…me sprawled all over my bed that I am sharing with my current WIP, my laptop and my iPad; don’t judge me, I am single!

Anyway, I make the mistake of opening my eyes and I see an alert from Instagram, well I think I see it because no glasses. I roll over, grab my phone and go to Instagram. I can answer the person real quick and go back to sleep right? WRONG! The first thing I see is a picture from Do Ewe Knit? and it is these cups. SIDEBAR: I don’t need no cups, no more yarn and no more needles…but whatever!  I sat straight up in the bed and typed “Karen I am on my way I want them ALL”

Didn’t I say I woke up feeling some type of way? Well how about this picture was like a gallon of coffee it was game time, and inner yarnho said “GG let’s go get them girl! You can sell some stuff to justify the purchase, but girl get up now before she sell out!” Yes this is the conversation with myself. I jump up, brush my teeth, splash water where it is needed. What? I was just running in to get the cups. I sniffed, I smelled public ready, so hush.

I jump in my car and down the parkway I go. I called to be sure she still had them because she is about 30 mins away from me. As I am parking, I am having a talk with my inner yarnho:

Me: listen we are only getting the cups

Yarnho: I know, no worries I will be good.

Me: I am not playing with you…get the cups and walk out

Yarnho: you have the feet so how can I stop you?

So I walk in and the first thing I see is the cups, Bonus..I can get them, pay and walk out. There is some sort of workshop going on so there are a bunch of folks there. I say hello, and decide I am only getting one cup, the knitting one and I am leaving. Meanwhile I have my inner Yarnho, in a headlock because she was like “ooo look that yarn wasn’t here last time” and “look at that cowl, isn’t that bulky? You can do that quick” and then here comes Karen, the owner and my YarnPimp. She gets me EVERY time. “G? did you see this?” “G let me show you what I made” and the infamous “G, this is new!” Please know EVERY thing she pointed out made my heart sing and my inner Yarnho  cry tears of joy because she knew Karen was breaking me down.

I went for only the cups and this is what happened:

I only got 1 cup and the Freia, well look, I had a skein at home that Shelbey had claimed and I wanted to try Wrapsody with it and..look I bought it ok? Then I was paid and ready to leave and she showed me the Knit Collage and a cowl she made. Listen, I could be addicted to drugs and I am not..so there.

And that my friend is a day in the life of a Yarnho and I wouldn’t have it any other way. What are you addicted to?

Knit on my fiber friends…knit on
