Before I get very far into this blogging adventure, I ought to explain the title of my blog. "Thought Yarn" is a term I came up with to describe all the bits and pieces of stories and characters and ideas I come up with and have no plans for how to use them. They are bouncing around in my head, stuffed away in drawers and folders and binders, and saved into the archives of my computer to potentially see the light of day again at some later date.
I am the same way with yarn as I am with these thoughts and ideas that I discover and have no clue what to do with but cannot discard. When I go into a craft store I always have to browse through the yarn before I can leave. More often than not this browsing leads to buying, and a ball or two of yarn follows me home. I usually have no immediate plans for this newly acquired yarn, but someday I will come up with something to do with it. Until then, it goes to live in the laundry hamper that holds my stash of soft and squishy rainbows.
So this blog will become my idea-stash, just like the laundry hamper is my yarn-stash. Day by day I will toss in new ideas that I simply have to keep for no particular reason other than the fact I want them for later, just in case. Thus, the thoughts and ideas that will build up over time in this blog are my balls of though yarn, just waiting for the perfect project to come along and use them.
