Note to Self: Knit the Stash
Okay, I only started knitting about a year ago. It hasn't been that long and already I have a stash that has expanded beyond the small containers I have for it. And yet, today I find myself perusing WEBS, thinking about yarn for that sweater I want to make. Admiring the lovely, soft looking DK weights. I blame my friend. She had me look at yarn for her project on the website. Friends who feed your yarn habit are evil and goodness all in one. And so I repeat the mantra "knit from stash Stacy, knit from stash." I need to focus on the project currently cast on before embracing (and spending money) on something else. Off to quietly mediate on that mantra.

It is so hard to be disciplined and use the yarn you have! I always find myself yarn shopping, when I really really don't need to be!
I have the same problem! I see a sale and think oh I need that. Just last month I had to remind myself there will always be a sale and I already have lots of nice yarn!
I do that all the time, too. Or, I fall in love with a pattern that I don't have enough yarn for in my stash, so then I feel like I have no choice but to buy more yarn.
Only knitting for a year and you have crossed over to the dark side of stash enhancement! Why, oh, why does the accumulation of yarn go so much faster than the knitting of yarn?
