Sometimes knitters, and other crafters have a little problem when they buy materials faster than they use them up. The crafting stash grows and grows out of control. Last month's Hat Marathon was a reaction of the vast amount of yarn I have. Making 26 hats used up an amount, but there is still a way to go before my stash is down to a more manageable level.
Yesterday I hit my 60th day at Cold Sheeping (buying no yarn at all). I have been awarded two 'clips' for my abtention.
I have realised that
it is not for me. I am a Moderate Merino (limited yarn purchases) lass through and through. My
plan for the rest of the year is to work through as much stash as
possible. But I will be allowing myself to buy some new yarn to make
gifts for others, and if I have been really good, to make an odd gift
for me too. :o)
Today is my first day as a Moderate, and my first act is to buy some yarn for two projects. This yarn is to make a hat for a good friend, and as a highlight yarn in a shawl for myself.
