A Setback 36 Hours In
I already feel like I've let you down. I started a shawl for my mom with yarn from my stash (see I was being good). It needs to be done by the end of July and it's also my Amazing Lace shawl. After restarting (twice), I caved and bought a cone of yarn online.
It will be my last purchase until Labor Day.
The first step is admitting your mistakes, right? This morning I had planned on going to the LYS, and I decided not to. The temptation is just to great. I'm sure they will not go out of business just because I'm not shopping there this summer (although they might have a bit of a dip in profits).
While I wait for the contraband yarn to arrive at my doorstep, I will tackle some of my other WIP's. Honestly, without all of you to keep my honest, I would have probably come home with an armful of lace weight and sock yarn today.

I agree about the frustration -- and from what you say, the Summer of Stash IS working! Because, as you said, it was only a cone and not a whole armful of laceweight.
GO! GO! (I'm also doing the Amazing Lace! See you there.)
Ooof! We had the first one fall off the wagon! You could have done lots worse, and you just need to get right back on the stash diet again. Can't wait to see the shawl.
