Eeep!

Thanks for the invite!

My Stash Confession: My husband thinks that I never buy yarn without having a distinct purpose in mind. And I started out that way, honest. But lately, my purchases have become more along the lines of 'I can find something to do with this later .. it's fabulous!' And I already can't fit my stash in one huge Rubbermaid tote. It's got to get cut down before the fall .. fall is when I like to spoil myself.

Another confession is that I have way more WIP's than I'd like. I have a friend who's having a baby in August and I've not finished one single thing for her! I'm getting close to finishing the towel, but that's it! Ack! I need to use this time to knit what I have, and not start new projects because I get bored.


Exceptions:

• I am allowed to purchase yarn for new projects for the aforementioned friend with a new baby, providing I continue working on and finish the projects I already have yarn for.
  
• I am allowed to purchase souvenir yarn from a location more than 200 miles from my home, or from a business that makes their own, ie: a sheep/llama farm even if it's closer than 200 miles. But I have to actually VISIT them .. no mail order purchases.

Goals:

• Finish cotton baby towel #1.
  
• Begin and finish baby towel #2.
  
• Begin and finish mitred square baby blanket.
  
• Make assorted discloths to use up Sugar & Cream stash.
  
• Make knitted market bag with cone of Sugar & Cream I bought for that purpose.
  
• Use up fuscia/grey-brown wool by making a Booga .. or two.
  
• Use up random odds&ends of yarn for charity projects.

Planned Reward:
My plan is to save up enough money to buy myself an umbrella swift and a ball winder .. I would easily spend enough for those in a season on yarn, so I can treat myself when this is over.
