Now I don't feel so bad...

...about the 2 skeins of sock yarn that have found their way to my house in the last couple of weeks. One of them was sort of an accident. How many times have you bid on something on eBay, and sat there refreshing your screen, watching the auction, and been outbid in the last 5 seconds? Well, I bid on a lovely handpainted sock yarn several hours before the end of the auction, then left to tour a gold mine (family vacation in Colorado), knowing I wouldn't be back before the end of the auction. And I won! So it was meant to be, right?
Then the other day, I saw another skein that I just had to have, and ordered it. But I'm good, now. Only 3 more weeks, anyway. Not that I'm going to rush out and release any pent-up yarn-buying urges.
Despite my less than perfect record, this Summer of Stash has helped me realize just how much yarn I do (still) have, and it has also caused me to slow down and really think about ordering/buying yarn willy-nilly. I still have too many works-in-progress. I think I'll spend these last few weeks of SoS focusing on finishing some of that stuff.

Julie, Ann and I are glad that we can help you exorcise some yarn-ish guilt, and that SOS has helped you focus your knitting more. That was the idea!
