this could be just what you’re looking for.
Just a quick post.  I’m suffering badly from a lack of sleep today.  I shan’t name names but if I find two teenagers playing about in the middle of the night again I will not be responsible for the consequences!

I dropped into my LYS the other day to pick up another couple of balls of yarn. I can’t help myself but to stop a while and look at all the other yarn, so many possibilities. Each time I go, there is more new yarn in and all I can think of is [...]
