Had to buy some yarn.

It was a gift item and I needed 100% wool in red.

I only had black, teal, lime, olive, coral and orange. no red.

That totally puts it on the OK to Buy list.

I don’t feel guilty, my conscience is clean

Clean, dammit… I’m Clean!

I’M CLEAN!

love,

Ok, me not getting new yarn is just not going to happen. I think I can still make it till september if i add these 3 addendums:

exception a: Yarn purchased for the sole purpose of teaching does not count as stash. It is an office supply.

exception b: Recycling is good for the enviroment; therefore, yarn recycled from thrift store sweaters is A-ok.

exception c: Adding store-bought to stash can be excused if and only if these two conditions are met 1) Yarn is on CRAZY sale – minimum 60%-off AND 2) there is already a project in mind. this means pattern is already bought, written or printed off the inter-web. (condition 2 can be excused for yarn bought for holiday gifts – that goes in storage till september anyway.)

Love,

If any of you were ever lucky enough to see my basement in indianapolis, you may remember that I have a full size bookcase full of yarn, as well as many many odd & ends tucked (hidden) away.

To rectify this problem, I am attempting to take part in wendyknits.net Knit From Your Stash 2007.

the rules:

Knit From Your Stash 2007!

1. The Knit-From-Your-Stash-a-Thon will start January 1, 2007 and run through September 30, 2007 — a period of nine months.

2. We will not buy any yarn during that period, with the following exceptions:

2.a. Sock yarn does not count. What? You think we are made of stone?

2.b. If someone asks for a specific knitted gift that we really and truly do not have the yarn for, we may buy yarn to knit that gift.

2.c. If we are knitting something and run out of yarn, we may purchase enough to complete the project.

2.d. We each get one “Get Out of Jail Free” card — we are each allowed to fall off the wagon one time.

3. We are allowed to receive gifts of yarn.

4. Trading stash is allowed.

5. Spinning fiber of any sort is exempt.

So far I have been good.

That is, in the last 36 days, I have not purchased any yarn.

Love,
serge

(did I mention that I am a big dork?)
