Thinking outside the box...

I have been REALLY good about knitting up yarn from my stash. Some of what I have been using is over 15 years old. I have decided to give much of my acrylic to my school/students, so that is a weight off my shoulders. The teacher has asked that I wait until the custodians are done with the summer cleaning of her room. LOL, she must have an idea of how much yarn I'm gifting to her!

Still, I had a moment of weakness where I needed some new yarn. I have already been bribing my daughter to purchase yarn for me, then giving it to me for my birthday. This was getting tough. As I was moving some of my stash, I came across an older book which I purchased to knit items for my two children. The book was for ages 1-3...and my kids are now 14 and 16. A swap was made...and now that book will belong to another wonderful knitter and I will be liberating a wild skein of Opal yarn. It's my FIRST Opal...and I didn't purchase it...I feel like a person that has been refreshed!

I'd best get back to knitting my older yarn!
