>Irresistable Yarn
>I just bough more yarn! This does NOT help me in my Yarn Challenge for the year! CLICK HERE to read more about my original challenge to myself. Here’s what happened. . . . .
I got these 2 great ideas for afghans. I knew exactly what kind of yarn – colors and all – that I wanted to use for these afghans. Here’s where the problem came in…..I didn’t have that kind of yarn. I should have resisted the urge. I should have told myself to finish the 1/2 dozen projects that are still sitting in my project bag(s). I should have tried harder to focus on what I’m already doing. Instead, I brought all my 40% off coupons and went store hopping to save as much as I could. The damage wasn’t too bad. $25 for 11 balls of yarn. Hopefully that’s enough to finish them.
So I sit here and wonder. How do you not get sidetracked? How do you stay focused on the project at hand? Any help would be great. Not totally discouraged about my yarn challenge because I know I’m doing better than last year. Just hoping I can finish out the year and DeStash just a little bit more. If you’re trying to destash too, check out Crafting with Cat Hair. She’s doing a DeStash-Along.
Again, any help on staying focused would be great :)
Happy Crocheting!
>I'm no help at all, what-so-ever, but wanted to let you know that you are not alone! I came across the Yarn Challenge (blog hopping) and decided what a wonderful idea! Then perhaps I could actually put more stuff in my closet! I lasted a little bit. Last month I bought 4 balls of cotton to make sun hats. 2 balls for each hat. And had to splurge on the magazine that the pattern came from.BUT!! I've worked lots on my WIP's (and started only a minimal amount more) using my stash!:)I've also dedicated a minimum of an hour a day to my WIP's. So I can start the thousands more in my waiting list! lol

>I wish I could offer you a solution but I'm worse than ever. The more I try to destash the more I feel I have to buy. Doesn't make sense, does it? It's like when your budget is so tight that you don't have any extra money and you feel you just have to buy something? Well, that's the way I am with yarn. I have so many WIPs that I really need to get myself disciplined better. Love your blog. Can't wait to see all the things you make with your stash.
