What is too much??

I leant how to knit when I was 13 when I was in Finland visiting my Aunt. I learnt how to make socks with using a pattern. I thought that was cool. Over the years I started making myself sweaters. I had a small stash of yarn which I enjoyed but never had real plans for. 

Since I learnt to spin yarn in 2006 the love of yarn has grown substantially!! Alpaca, Llama, wool, cashmere, silk, cotton..... I can go on & on & on. It is a love affair that has just grown. I look at my stash now & wonder if I have too much. There's yarn I bought because the company was going out of business & I just loved their yarn. I bought some that I was going to do a project but either forgot what I was going to do & have frogged the idea because I have now desire to do that project now. I bought some yarn because I JUST COULD NOT LEAVE WITHOUT IT!! Others called my name!! Then there is yarn that I bought for my Dear Sister In Law that itches at the thought of wool &  know she can wear this specific stash!! Then there is the yarn I spun... what can I say!! 

What shall I do.... I do not know but it is a problem I will keep & work on!! Something I will enjoy to figure out what to knit next, what to weave next, what do I want to do with this yarn today!?!?

I did not even get into the weaving yarn I have, that is another day!! Have a happy day!
