Nothing Good

It's like watching someone knit and noticing there's no yarn at all.

-Martin C. Smith

I must have been in a sleep-deprived haze. It's the only possible explanation for why I decided to re-organize my yarn stash AND simultaneously update my yarn stash spreadsheet last weekend. I mean, I know I had seen Laura do it here. But maybe in my day-night confusion I thought that meant I should, too?

Seriously, nothing good can come from stash reorganization. Here's a list of the bad things that happened:

1. I realized how much yarn I had.
2. The beau stopped by unexpectedly and HE realized how much yarn I had. I think it was when I had to move the DVD player to reach cones of yarn that he really got scared.
3. I think this now negates a previous conversation wherein he told me that he thought I should buy as much yarn as I wanted.
4. I don't have - of course - the yarn to knit anything I really feel like starting.
5. And then I realized I don't have any time to start anything.
6. My spreadsheet grew from 5 to 6 pages long.
7. Because even after I finished projects, I had some full skeins of leftover yarn. And that still takes up a whole line.
8. Some of this yarn I don't know if I'll ever use.
9. But, of course, if I get rid of it, I'll need it.
10. All that playing with yarn and spreadsheets kept me from knitting. Especially this.

The only thing potentially on the plus side? The beau was very terrified impressed by the whole spreadsheet thing. He does have a degree in engineering, after all. And spreadsheets are just so scientific.
