I just keep buying more yarn! This needs to stop. My plan for today was to run into town and exchange a skein of Noro Silk Garden at Stix, my local yarn shop. I started making a Ten Stitch Blanket two days ago, but the colorway I chose was a little too bright jewel-toney for me to knit an entire blanket of.
I cancelled that plan, however, because lately I am unable to walk into that store without splurging on yarn for which I have no project. This means that I have two skeins of madelinetosh sock, two Shibui sock, infinite amounts of Malabrigo lace, as well as Artyarns Cashmere 1 and 4 untouched skeins of Malabrigo worsted.
Today I went through my pile o' yarn next to DH's leatherworking desk and tried to bag things by brand and weight. I found a half skein of bison yarn, and 2 1/2 skeins of qiviuq. Hundreds of dollars of yarn, which are sitting there, waiting. Why can't I just give it away?
I have so many skeins of unplied worsted, I need a fulled project. I have been planning on knitting a horse blanket, but was unwilling to spend hundreds on the 1500+ yards of wool I needed. Looks like I may not need to.
Perhaps I need to look up a stash swap group on Ravelry. I might be too picky for that though. I just wish Lidped was here to help me make decisions on knitting.
