(no subject)

Crawling out from my WoW addiction I decided to start knitting again mostly because I need to make Christmas gifts for the family members who wouldn't want pottery. My yarn stash is all neatly tucked away in a large ikea bookshelf and while locating the perfect yarn for a pink elephant for my niece, I realized that I have many skiens of rather expensive wool laying around unloved. I bought a lot of it for soakers and pants for Jack which he no longer needs but there is also aawful lot of purple or other colors that will work well for either gender and I have no idea what to do with it all. The greens, browns and some of the dark blue will become a puppy and a giraffe for my nephews but I have some really lovely stuff tthat frankly I'm feeling too selfish to make into something for a kid. I wish I were not so fail at matching yarn to projects.
