Side Effects of SOS

I wasn't the best SOS'er, not by a mile. However, I have started to exercise my willpower and discipline. I'm not buying yarn just because.

You know, just because...

It's on clearance
It's on sale
It's being discontinued
It's interesting
It's pretty
It's soft

I've definately noticed a change in my thinking when I go to a yarn store. I don't go to browse anymore, I go with a purpose. I have a project in mind. I still have a lot (most) of my stash to use, but I no longer allow myself to buy without a project already in mind. I still have a way to go, but I'm getting there.
