As I carried in the groceries, my mind wandered into thoughts of yarn. I used to knit a lot and I frequently ordered yarn online. What fun it always was when the box arrived and I had new yarn to knit.
Once the groceries were put away, it was time to open the mystery box. And it was yarn!
Not yarn I had ordered. Not yarn I expected. But yarn from a Ravelry group called Yarn Storming.
The mission of this group is to collect unwanted stash yarn and send it anonymously to knitters in need of a little yarn love.What a wonderful ministry. Love through yarn.
It lifted my spirits and changed the whole tone of the day. Everytime I look at that pile of yarn I smile. Who says online friends aren't real friends?
Who gave them my name? Anyone want to fess up?
Thank you.

I am not responsible. Hadn't heard of the group before you mentioned them. I can't think of a more deserving knitter. Enjoy the yarn love.
(and thank you for posting about the group. Now i have somewhere to share some of the languishing stash!)
What a marvelous idea--and perfect recipient! I have had those moments of "uh oh, what did I order that I don't remember?"--I kept forgetting it was my birthday a few weeks ago, so they were all guilt-free. Enjoy the ruminating about what you'll create, as well as the knitting itself.
What a nice surprise! It'll be fun to see what you do with these pretties. Can't think of a better kind of storm, can you?
Wow! That is so cool! I didn't even know the group exists. Ravelry is so awesome.
I wish I could say I was responsible, but I never heard of the group before. What a wonderful surprise and a very worthy recipient.
I never heard of the group before your post but I am off to find it now! What a lovely, caring thing to do!

Hoorah! I am not the sender (I had no idea what your address is), but I have donated to and nominated others with that group... and I am so very glad someone nominated you! A wonderful warm yarny hug for you!
I've never heard of the group, but what a great idea!!
It wasn't me but what a great group idea! Glad it lifted your spirits :)

What a wonderful idea! I'm sure you'll find wonderful things to make with the yarn.

What a great idea! Not from me, but what a great thing Ravelry has set up. Gorgeous yarn too. Enjoy!
