I broke.......

Last week, I spent two days working up at BMFA, getting sock club out. While there, Tina had several boxes of yarn that she had to get rid of. Colors that didn't take well, or items that didn't sell well. Anyways, the first day I brought home a shopping bag of yarn, fibers I have never used before. On my way home I thought about the sock yarn she had. No one seemed to be interested in it, the colors were not ones I would use either. But, if several strands were combined, they would make some great socks and vests for CIC. I told Tina about my idea, and the rest of the sock yarn came home with me. I have given some of it away, in fact probably half of it is gone now. AND I started on a vest for CIC right away.

I have learned this summer that I can curb my spending quite easily. Having the incentive here has helped a lot!! I haven't quite gotten as many projects done, but I am feeling good about the stash, and not too overwhelmed. I am going to try to continue this stash-busting into the fall. The only yarn that I absolutely need is for an afghan KAL at the lys, I have the yarn for the corner squares, but not the inside squares. I will go to the KAL this week, but will put off buying the yarn until after Labor Day.
