Hoarding relapse

Peace Corps Volunteers pass through the country in a cycle that feels excruciatingly long when you're suffering through Pre-Service Training but begins to accelerate around the midway
point.

While it is depressing to constantly say goodbye to friends, one advantage for us dumpster-diving types is that folks jettison vast quantities of perfectly good stuff. Since my quirks and hobbies are common knowledge around the greater Chipata area, I've become the magnet for knitting- and yoga-related castoffs. Today when I pulled my friend Maggie from her site, I inherited rainbow-colored handspun yarn and yoga flashcards.

I'm trying to reform my hoarding ways, but how does one say no to a perfectly good set of circular needles?
