1. I don't have a lot of yarn. You have too many clothes.

2. Why do you need 30 pairs of shoes? You can't knit with shoes.

3. It's not yarn. It's potential. Potential for both joy and defeat. Can't beat that for a good thing.

4. It's not JUST yarn, it's MY yarn.

5. Sock yarn doesn't count.

6. Gift yarn doesn't count.

7. Yarn my sister spun definitely doesn't count.
