Summer of Stash 2006
Welcome to the Summer of Stash!
On this blog, SoS-ers will support one another through a Summer with no yarn purchases. Here are the rules:
1. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, no yarn purchases allowed. You must knit only from stash.
2. Each SoS team member may have up to two exceptions to their rule this summer. For example, if you find us after Memorial Day, you are welcome to join later, and simply designate a later start date as your exception.
3. Challenge yourself to reduce your stash in creative or generous ways. Share your projects and ideas with other SoS-ers.
4. Rules apply only to yarn purchases. Books, patterns, and needles/notions needed to complete projects are allowed and encouraged if it gets you through the summer.
5. Plan and post about special Post-Labor Day Reward.
To become an Official SoS-er, please send an e-mail (be sure to include your e-mail) to your host, Liz K, to receive an invitation. I will add you to the sidebar as I receive names. Once you have been approved for membership, please post a Stash Confession with your Exceptions and Planned Reward as an introduction to the other team members.
Have a great Summer of Stash!
Note: Please be patient with sign-ups to the SoSKAL. I will be traveling without my computer over the Memorial Day weekend.
Note 2: Any SoSKAL-er interested in designing a banner & button for us?

Emailed you!
I did too! Thanks for organizing this!
This is a great idea, and I think I'll toss my name in. Stash is out of control, and my LYS has a Christmas in July sale - 20% off everything - so this is just the incentive I need to be strong. Thanks!
sign me up! I've put myself on a yarn-buying hiatus anyway, may as well have some gals to commisserate with!
Hi,
I just sent you an email to sign up, but it bounced back to me. Am I too late to join? I'd be grateful if you could let me know at hello at annarella dot co dot uk
Thanks so much in advance x
I"m sure glad I hit the 40% off sale from my local yarn store (which is going out of business) and stocked up on natural fibers before I joined this KAL/ Support Group!
