One Gone, Two Left

I caved so quickly.  It’s because I was all full of myself and how easy it was to knit from stash.  I love my stash.  I know there are lots of folks proclaiming that they are not in any kind of stashalong this year, and I envy them a little.  But I’m glad I’m doing it.  I honestly could knit for at least a year with what I have.  I want to become the kind of person who buys (most) of her yarn for a specific project, and then she makes (gasp) that project. 

Well, as I started to say, yesterday I caved.  I stopped at Marji’s to pick up something for a friend (really) and left with a skein of Karabella Gossamer.  Just one.  Because it was marked down from $24.95 to $10 and I always fondle it when I go in there.  And I like this smokey shade of gray.  And it would make a pretty ruffle scarf for someone on my list.  Or maybe arm warmers for me.  Or something. 

Neal chided me when I told him, but I reminded him that I gave myself three free days of yarn buying.  He didn’t believe me, but you remember I said that, right?  Right

  1. The scary thing is – I’ve been that kind of person who buys yarn for a specific project – and I also have enough to knit with for over a year!! My problem is the 2nd half of it – actually making that project as soon as I buy the yarn! I was buying yarn about 5x faster than I could knit it.

  2. I remember too!
    I love the smokey shade of grey. No wonder you used up a day on it.
    I’m not purposely knitting from stash, but I have been pretty much anyway for the last few months.
    Until Saturday, when I dropped over a hundred on new yarn for a sweater. This is not an inexpensive passion
