I myself have several special skeins that may never see more than the inside of my basket except for when I'm fondling them. This is normal... isn't it?

Combine to get similar weights and make a lovely sampler shaw or scarf. Stipe with rows of different colors or patterns. Something you can take with you to admire and fondle as you like. AND it leaves room in your stash to get more wonderful yarn. A no lose situation. I think you should take those gorgeous yarns and pick some colors that coordinate.

But, you have to think about the destiny of each yarn/curl... They all came into being with the promise that they would become something...a scarf, a shawl, a hat, a pair of socks or whatever. Surely you don't want to thwart those promises... You must help each to achieve it's/her destiny. And you'll do a stunning job.

And according to Robert's Rules of Order, that means the motion is carried that Sarah is not able to mess anything knitting or spinning related up. So knit! Spin! Because there is more beauty where that came from. Life's too short (she says, fondling her SeaSilk because it'sssss precioussssssss).

I think I have not fully revealed just how much ripping out I really do. Oh, I don’t know about that. I think I have not fully revealed just how much ripping out I really do.

Of course, there are some who would claim that I am one skein short of a sweater, but we choose to ignore them. On another note (and this is serious), I have a hard time imagining that you could "mess up" any yarn by knitting it. I could, and so could a lot of lesser knitters, but you're just not in that category.
