Stashbusting

I have been pretty good in my stashbusting since the project started. I used a whole hank (150m) of Handmaiden silk spun to make a shoulder wrap, I am more than halfway done with a scarf that is using 2 balls of 135yds each, I started a baby sweater to use up 2 balls of 120yds each and a ball is Trekking is slowly changing into socks. I am also going to be starting another pair of socks from some Lorna's Lace I have in the stash.
I did receive more sock yarn from a swap I am part of though, so I have to add about a 1000yds to the stash.
Last weekend DH and I went upstate NY for a wedding. On our way home we stopped in Skeaneateless at 2 yarn shops to see what they had. I considered myself on vacation so buying yarn there was part of my exceptions. But there was nothing to buy... All the yarn there was something I could get in most yarn shops, except for one brand: Greater Adirondack that I'd never seen before and never heard of. But it was $40 a hank so I passed. Overall it was easy resisting temptation and the fact that I didnt really have any money to spend helped a lot too!
My only complaint is that I dont knit fast enough...

Me neither, which I guess is the reason for the stash. Buying is faster than knitting. ;^)
