I've fallen and I can't get up

I fell into a yarn obsession and I can't (or maybe I don't want) to get up. Every time I am extremely stressed, I get into an obsession. Usually it focuses around color. Beta fish, floss, clay, flowers, yarn....... I do see a pattern. This time it is yarn. I just love it and I keep just picking up a skein or 12 here and there. I have to stop due to not having ANY money to support this new obsession. But for now, I just sit in my yarn heap, LITERALLY, and contemplate the marvelous things I won't get around to creating. K~

not to feed your obsession,

Yes, it is fun to be on row 50 now and still not have repeated an entire row.

Super easy pattern:

200+ chain (mine is 250 chain - a bit big)

double crochet in each chain

every row is a double crochet

New color each row

go until you're done.

It's called a Vintage Vertical stripe afghan.

who doesn't hoard yarn? It definitely is a day brightener. It's very pretty. When is the VACATION? (notice the caps)
