I Wanna Hold Your Hand

this past week, i did virtually no knitting.   j had a midterm paper due yesterday and since he hasn't taken any sort of non-math college level  course  EVER , he needed a lot of handholding.  operation handholding was a success.  he got a 96 on the assignment.  as we say up here in new england...he's wicked smaht.

anyway, since i was kind of out of the loop (that's assuming that i am ever really in the loop) i missed the whole flash your stash day thingy yesterday.   

so i'm flashin' today.

just so you know, my mother would be appalled that i'm showing you the mess.  and i have to admit, that had i had more time, i would have sorted everything out by color/fiber/size of skein etc.  sometimes i think that if i weren't so lazy i'd have OCD.

but i don't only hoard yarn, i also hoard books.

that top shelf is all knitting or crocheting books.  the bottom shelf is 1/3 knitting crochet books.

here are some that haven't made it to the shelf yet.  (how cute is my sleeping napoleon?)

and here is my collection of knitting/crochet magazines.  well on the bottom shelf, anyway.  the top shelf is mostly old grad school text books and readers, faithfully guarded by a sheep. 

ok.  i've got to go.  i've got a hot date with some crazy ass knitters.
