Rationing

Last year, I half-heartedly said I would knit from stash. I did OK with this, but I also added too much to stash. Looking through my archives, there’s a definite pattern: most of the shopping happened during November and December. Is it a pathological need to stock up on woolly goods in preparation for the cold winter?

Anyway! I’ve decided to come up with a “yarn regimen” in part inspired by Knittymama’s Ten Project Challenge. To keep a lid on the impulse shopping, I’ll keep a list of yarns, colorways, or other items to purchase. That way, I’ll have some kind of guidelines in hand when I can shop.

But before I go into details about the yarn regimen, I want to outline some personal knitting goals I would like to accomplish this year. more »
