This is funny and totally explains why spinners are such unique people! A recent study indicated, that raw fibres gives off certain Pheromones that actually hypnotize women and cause them to purchase unreasonable amounts.
When stored in large quantities, the Pheromones (in the fibre) cause memory loss and induce the nesting syndrome, (similar to the one squirrels have, before the onset of winter, i.e. the storing of food,) therefore, perpetuating their species and not having a population loss due to their kind being cut into pieces and mixed with others.
Sound tests have also revealed, that these fibres, emit a very high-pitched sound, heard only by a select few, a breed of women known as "spinners." When played backwards on an LP, the sounds are heard as chants, “buy me, dye me, spin me".
In order to overcome the so called "feeding frenzy effect," that these fibres cause, one must wear a face mask when entering a storage facility and use ear plugs, to avoid being pulled into their grip.
Studies have also indicated, that aliens have inhabited the earth, helping to spread the effects that these fibres have on the human population. They are called "FIBRE STORE ASSISTANTS".
It's also been experienced, that these same Pheromones, cause a pathological need, to hide these fleece purchases, when taken home (or at least blend them into the existing stash.) When asked by a Significant Other if the fibre is new, the reply is, "I've had it for a while!"

Did I make any new year resolutions? ..... of course not !!! .... I only break them.
Reflection of the Croydon Library ..... the lake was next to where the Remembrance Day Service was held .... where war veterans, family and civilians reflected on past wars and how fortunate they are living in a wonderful free country - AUSTRALIA ..... !!!!!
Today is Spin In Public Day (SIP) ..... so here I am spinning on our nature stip outside my home. Admittedly I wasn't spinning there very long, but at least I participated !!!!! 
When I can, I like to go to Ferngully Stamps for a card making class on Tuesday mornings. I went this week where we made 3 cards using the roller stamps ... my first attempt. Our tutor, Marlene is so patient with us .... is it because we talk so much?
I thought of the usual New Year's Resolutions, like losing weight ....... being a good girl ...... don't buy wool, spinning fibres etc etc etc ...... 
Today was doggie school. My mum who is visiting for a few days came and watched. She said Chloe was a very good student. (I was really hoping Chloe would be on her best behaviour with mum watching !!
I made this lovely two strand necklace and matching earrings at Sonja's jewellery class today. Black, white and clear beads with silver spacers in between were threaded onto silver tigertail with a large pewter flower in the middle.
After months of waiting, I have finally been invited to join Ravelry - http://www.ravelry.com/
Happy Birthday to the best Mum in the world .........

My Uthando dolly now has a sister and a baby! My three dolls will be sent off tomorrow to the Uthando Project Co-ordinator.
Five minutes after this photo was taken, the sky turned stormey and it rained! So why didn't I take a photo of the rain? I had just left home to take Chloe to doggie school.
I am a member of the Aussie Knitters Yahoo Group and we are knitting for the Uthando Project (dolls for Zulu children). The dolls must have brown (not black) skin with black hair.
