Since I've converted to Facebook, I've somewhat abandoned blogging. Ok, I abandoned it altogether. Facebook just isn't the correct format for sharing more than a tidbit of information at a time, so I am reviving this blog. Be afraid, be very afraid.
And now, the drama of the m*ths.
So, I started the annual attempt to get the stash under control and I found evidence of moths. OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!! I live in freaking COLORADO!!!!!! We don't have a major moth issue here. I've never even seen moth eaten garments! I've even been extra careful and stored my wool with cedar chips and lavender. But still, FREAKING MOTHS!!!!!!!
Luckily, the moths only seem to have damaged a small portion of my unspun wool, most of which sould be salvageable. Unfortunately, I appear to have 60+ lbs of wool and yarn in my bedroom alone which I must now quarantine and deal with. Add to that the epic sty that my bedroom is, and we have a serious issue.
All wool and yarn is getting bagged and put on the back porch. All cloths, books, and random crap must be removed. Everything must be washed. Everything must be vacuumed. I'm panicked and overwhelmed.
Of course, my loving husband thought I was completely overreacting until I informed him that his Doctor Who scarf is made of wool and, therefore, in danger. "They can't have my scarf!" he said. "I love it more than anything else in this room. Well, except you." Now he shares my horror. He has come to the dark side. MUAHAHAHA!!!
I never thought I would be hoping for some seriously cold weather, but I could really use some right now. If I could use my back porch as a freezer, that would seriously speed up the de-mothing process. This is going to be a royal pain in the arse. Wish me luck.

Noooo!!! Do you remember in grade school when I ended up with all of those moths in my room because of a bad batch of rodent chow? They were so annoying and took FOREVER to get rid of! I wasn't even worried about them eating things they shouldn't! Eesh. Let me know if you want me to come over and assist. I fear for your stash!
The stash is getting dry ice fumigated as soon as possible. Until then, all affected or potentially affected bits of yarn are parked on the back porch in trash bags. Good thing it's cold :)
