Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Not a resolution
This is NOT a New Year's resolution. no one keeps those
This is NOT a yarn diet. I buy what I want
This is NOT binding. I'm as fickle as I want to be
with that all said....
I WANT TO KNIT FROM MY STASH.
As my stash mounted to gargantuan proportions, I started to really really think about stopping the madness. I love my stash. I love my stash lots and lots. In fact I think my stash should stay the size that it is. All I want is to knit the things in my stash.
I have so many projects waiting in the sidelines. So many beautiful things are just waiting to be knit. They wait so patiently while I wantonly add more to their fellowship. Poor knits in waiting. Waiting forever for their turn.
I started to list my stashed yarns here and realized after so many that there really was simply too much for one little innocent blog post. I had to start their very own little web page. Yarns in waiting.
Did you go look?
Just a few yarns ranging from the cheap acrylic to expensive wools. I am an equal opportunity stasher. I love all yarns and as long as they feel good to knit and wear, I don't care what the content is. Just bring it on.
The really scary thing is that I've only listed the yarns that are for sweaters and shawls. We won't even talk about the mittens, hats, socks and other yarn projects. Or rather, maybe I'll give them their own pages too.
Must knit from stash.
Must knit from stash.
Must knit from stash.
Are you wanting to knit from your stash too? We can all do it together. There is a Stash Along here although I think the sign up has ended. I didn't sign up for it because it had rules. Scary rules that said no yarn purchases for three months. THREE MONTHS!!! No yarn purchases. Yipes! That's way too harsh of a rule for me.
I'll buy yarn if I feel the need. Well, I always feel the need. Don't you? I just want to knit a few things from my stash. Trying not to buy yarn might actually cause some sort of physical damage. You all know that Marilyn Monroe died of unknown circumstances. I bet she tried to restrain herself from buying yarn. She was on a yarn diet and it killed her.
Seriously folks, I would hate to see the same thing happen to any of you. If you have any of the following symptoms; faintness around new yarn, shoulder or arm twitches, Money burning holes in your pants or wallet... That's right, there's no such thing as spontaneous human combustion, it all starts with burning money... If any of these things happen, get yourself to your nearest LYS and buy yarn. Don't wait thinking it will pass. Your life could be in danger and you need to buy yarn immediately to reverse the serious deadly effects of yarn withdrawal.
