The perfect summer to use my stash

My summer will include cleaning my basement...which already houses boxes of yarns from my previous obsessions. I have enough yarn to keep me in cotton dishclothes for a lifetime...and then what do I do with all these acrylics in 1980-90's colors?

I see there is a pattern to our postings...first there is the goal:

I plan on completely cleaning out the basement so we can actually put up walls! (Okay, having stairs down to the basement would be a plus also...I'm picky, I want this set inside the house.)

Exceptions:

IF I need a yarn to complete a project, I will allow myself to purchase it...but ONLY the amount I need!

Rewards:

There should be plenty of Christmas presents and stuff for the summer fair if I get to knitting!
