Maybe it's because I love yarn, how soft and wonderful it feels, but I don't always know what to do with it. Since I don't know whether I might later want to knit a child's hat or a women's sweater, and since I don't have a pattern picked out at the moment, I don't know how much I'll need. But sock yarn is easy. I need 100 grams, give or take.
It could be because I love bright colors, but a little goes a long way. I just can't get into oatmeal or brown or cream, no matter how soft it feels. It's too dull for me. Sock yarns come in the most wonderful colors! And I can wear bright socks whenever I want to without attracting too much attention from the fashion police. And Cosby sweaters are out of style, I hear.
In any case, my addiction has come to a head. My two little minions, Xander and Maya, and I gathered all of my sock yarn onto my guest bedroom bed for a photo session.
Holy heck, I have a lot of sock yarn! This is not going to stop me from buying more (well, it might just a little bit, I really have too much!) but it is inspiring me to use it more. I have a few ideas and will blog about them in a few days. For now, you'll just have to enjoy some group photos of all of my sock yarn.

That doesn't even include the half dozen you gave away to get us addicted! Your yarn and minions posed really well for the photos, though. :)
Yeah, I can't have a photo shoot without including them, because they won't let me! They automatically try to get in the picture. I have to tell them when I DON'T want kids in the yarn photos.
I think that is a queen sized bed. Full of sock yarn. Please don't put it away until I get the chance to take a nap in it. I'll help you take pictures...
