beyond the wide world's end

I am buying yarn for nothing in particular, but for the, uh, sheer joy of stash. Finally! A hobby where my packrat habit is actually useful! (Although I draw the line at taking my jewelry-making equipment to school. By the way, you are getting stitch markers for Christmas, do you have a preference on stones? I have several zuni bears (rose quartz, brecciated jasper, turquoise, and a stone I'm not sure on), hematite hearts, mother-of-pearl flowers, and a multitude of drops, chips, and rounds.)
