If I were to see you walking into a yarn shop, I would probably just cheer you on. I am an enabler! <br /><br />I'm also totally with your sister-in-law about swooning over books. Many years ago a college friend and I sat on a bench at Trinity College and read passages from <i>The Dubliners</i>..and we didn't even like James Joyce! There was just something about being there that made us WANT to <br />like him. Sometimes I need an excess of yarn to be properly inspired.

Fabulous. There's nothing like it in the U.S., so far as I'm aware, at least not on the West coast. And it's truly a sad thing, not to have such beauty in a library. "Function" has neglected to consider that Beauty <b>is</b> a function in and of itself.<br /><br />You could ... donate some of the yarn. There. I've said it. Won't happen, will it? Heh heh.

Definitely swoon-worthy.<br /><br />The library had the same effect on me too - it's what makes the book of kells exhibition worth paying for (I felt the book stuff was covered better at the Chester Beatty library for free) I *love* the colour co-ordinated stash boxes.
