I just read a fascinating book called “How We Decide”–it talks about how we have two decision-making systems, one emotional and largely subconscious and one rational. And it said that in a study of matters of taste, the people who looked at an art object, then walked away and didn’t think about it, then came back and chose the item based on how they felt about it- were way more satisfied than the people who tried to analyze what they did and didn’t like about something. So.. science agrees! Some part of you knows this is the right yarn. You just have to listen to yourself. (I *highly* recommend the book- very well-written and interesting.)

Sometimes the yarn has to shout, not whisper, eh?

Take all the time you need. We’ll be here, patiently waiting for the follow-up on that story.

I love when yarn talks to me… pretty soon we’re gonna call you “Yarn Whisperer”

Decisions, decisions. I love those yarn shop moments. So far I have never regretted a purchase although I have regretted not purchasing a few times.

Isn’t it annoying when things tell you stuff that doesn’t make sense–and you know you’re going to have to WAIT to understand what it means. I had a discussion with my sister Becky last night about things people say that start out sounding incredibly stupid, and turn out to be exactly the right thing. But oh, the waiting is hard.

Someone will need a winter scarf, I think.
