I have a yarn monster or two around my house, too. Oh, and Jeanne? Teaching him to knit does not solve the problem. Then he has an actual use for all the yarn he steals from the stash.

They're like little jackdaws, if it's sparkly they want it. It would be awfully hard to resist that face looking up at you, that's for sure!

BUT!!! Only finished products. They have no desire for the stuff on the skein.<BR/><BR/>Also, my boyfriend's kids (4 and 6) like to make off with a skein (mostly the alpaca and cashmere, of course) and rub their faces on it like a blankie while they're watching TV. <BR/><BR/>The 6 year Mia Cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391111339715272342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9910550.post-83307820834983485592007-06-29T07:30:00.000-07:002007-06-29T07:30:00.000-07:00I too have a Yarn Monster and it's hard to tell yo...I too have a Yarn Monster and it's hard to tell you this, but it's all over with.

My puppy, (named Precious - what was I thinking?) takes off with the yarn in her mouth and can unroll a skein of Lorna's Laces faster than you can blink. Of course, she does the same thing with toilet paper. No discrimination in our house!!
