yarn dream part 2

Where the skein of yarn’s, who is now a ball of yarn, world view does a loop d’ loop right into the deep end of the stash basket.
You will recall when last we were together, I had quite the transformative shape changing experience. Now here I sit in a brand new spherical form that I am pretty sure is a little sexy, and in a new homey spot that is all warm and cozy, but is certainly not my shelf. Just between you and me I kind of miss my shelf. I am trying to be all brave and embrace the adventure of it all, but I had a great view of the kitchen from there and could watch the whole family play. Oh well, maybe I will get back for a visit sometime.
I am watching knitter root around in a really big basket with that determined yet puzzled expression she often has when she is working that I find ever so charming and endears her to me in ways I cannot describe.
I wonder what she is up to?  Her needles are right here beside me so...?
Think I’ll have a look around while knitter is busy. I have a feeling she is going to be awhile.
There sure is a lot more going on in this room. Lots of pretties and baskets and bags and hey, wait a minute.  Oh my goodness, these baskets, bags, table tops… are full of skeins and balls of yarn like me.  (Well not like me because really, I am quite the ball of yarn.) I knew I was not knitter’s one and only. I knew there were more like me. I’m not under plied, I get it. But you should see this place there are a lot more. Now that I have a good look around I see that we are everywhere.
It is one thing to know you are not alone and quite another to see you are not, in a grain of sand kind of way, alone.
Whoa, I wonder if knitter has a problem. Do you think she has a problem?  Nooo how silly of me. Of course she doesn’t how could you have too much of all of this warm cozy colourful goodness just sitting around patiently waiting to be knit. 
I wonder if all knitters homes look like this?  Hmmm… I wonder if this means that the daydream I have of a huge space with skeins like me in all kinds of colours, hanging all over the walls and from the rafters is real and not a dream after all. I wonder if that is home, where we all come from?
Ok finally, here comes knitter with that look, a book and I bet a plan… .

Yup looks like there is a part three. Sorry seems like ball who was a skein has a lot to say. I think my dream opened cracked open a door.
