... you know, the ones that Spotlight et al do not stock. The gorgeous colours, the pure fibres, the careful spinning, the ones from distant exotic lands.
The yarns that make all the effort, the hours, and the love that goes into the finished piece truly worth every single bit.

Its normal. I've been known to buy expensive fabric, purely for the ownership, knowing full well I will never cut into it. Sometimes I like to take it out of the cupboard just to touch it and admire it. This is not weird in any way (no, its not!). In the grand scheme of addictions, its relatively minor and harmless.

I wouldn't worry too much - we all have our little idiosyncrasies.
The world is a weird place. And humans are crazy.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

I think we will find Forest & Bird will change the rules for the next election and make it NZ residents only. I'm not an Oliver fan, so wasn't happy with his campaigning. But nothing we could do as it wasn't against the rules.
I see the try that was disallowed in the Rugby World Cup should have been allowed as the TMO couldn't go back four phases of play and they did.
Life is a one time offer, use it well

I think it would be only fair for Forest and Bird to declare John Oliver an Honourary New Zealand Bird, seriously endangered, perhaps alongside the Moa.
Another bird that had too much neck for its own good.
