New SOS-er
Confession:
I have actually not bought yarn for just over a month. I tested myself to see if I could do it, as I'm earning an intern's stipend and will be moving in a couple months. I think to make it through the whole summer though, I'll need you guys. :)
I don't have a huge stash either, compared to some I saw on Flash-Your-Stash day (some people have more sock yarn than I have total yarn!) but I'm a slow knitter with not much free time, so what I have could stay with me forever. I'm also doing this to help me finish WIPs. WIPs and saving money are the main reasons I'm doing this.
I will also be Amazing Lace-ing with stash yarn. Yay lace socks!
Here is a post of mine that talks about what yarn I have planned for what projects.
Exceptions:
a) I've been planning on making Raspy for about two months now. I have the book, but no yarn yet. I am going to make Tubey out of stash yarn, and when Tubey is done, I'm going to order the Raspy yarn (from elann, so it'll be cheaper than Rowan), no matter what month it is (although it'll probably be December by the time I finish a sweater).
(b) I've been searching since I started knitting for Crystal Palace Cotton Chennille, and I finally found it in a physical store. I want to by two skeins (well really I want to buy one of each colour, but let's not go there), but as this is a yarn diet challenge, I'm not going to do it until I have finished an old WIP. Let's say the thrummed mittens.
Reward:
Yarn (and book) for Crinkle from Rowan 39!

Welcome!!
I had to comment because we have the WIPs issue and budgetary realities in common. I think I speak for us all when I say that "we're here for you!" and it sounds like you've got some great things planned... I have aspirations about Tubey too - there's a great KAL for it on the KH Forum
