>My Yarn Diet
>My goal for 2011 was to use up as much of my yarn stash as possible . . . without adding to it. I told my hubby its my yarn diet. Let’s just say it hasn’t been going very well.
I started out great by organizing my stash by weight and color (you can see the post here) but then my LYS decided they were closing there doors. So naturally I just had to go and see what I could get for 75% off. I got quite a bit of yarn, at a great price, and told myself that was it for the year. But it didn’t quite work that way. You see, I’m trying to catch up on some orders, and I had 1/2 dozen orders for black hats. Well, I wasn’t going to have enough black yarn to finish, so I had to go get some more. I vowed not to look at anything else and focus! But when I walked by this the tag stuck out at me. You see, I’m a bargain shopper, and I can’t pass up a deal . . . . especially one like this.
>I want some 8 cents yarn!! Great find!
>You have all my sympathy for your plan og yarn diet.I try yarn-fasting untileaster and find it incredibily hard to manage only after one week of fasting.Probably I'd have bought that 8-cnt wonder too.
>I have never found ANYthing yarn related for 8 cents. Awesome find.
>Yarn diets seem to work as well for me as regular diets – lots of good intentions and very little follow through! In both cases I think the solution is general moderation with some few treats thrown in now and then. :)
>I'm on a yarn diet too, I can only buy yarn if I need it for a specific project. It's painful! But 8 cent yarn does not count as cheating lol.
>What a bargain! I had to smile at your yarn diet… Never never no……… I never have enough of the colour or ply. LOL..
