Happy New Knitting Year!

Happy New Year! May all your knitting gauges stay true and your stitches never drop!

Okay, enough of that. The new year brings around a cultural pressure to create resolutions with which I as a natural procrastinator/ perfectionist always struggle. This year my two simple resolutions were to learn to finish what I start in a timely fashion before starting something new and not buying any more yarn until I used all of the project-planable yarn in my stash. For a few hours there, everything was going according to plan, but then....

It was all my Mother's fault. She called to say that Michael's Crafts had all of their yarns on sale for 30% off. I agreed to go thinking I would pick up some of the cheaper yarn on sale for charity projects thus making it more frugal to do my charity projects. Well, then there were yarns I found to make Chistmas presents for next year...and well, you can probably guess. The Cash Flow Plan took a big hit and I have now filled up the yarn space in the dresser allotted for my existing stash thus leaving the existing stash without a home. So much for downscaling the yarn space.

One bright side to the situation is that there is only one true way to solve a problem of having too much yarn....get to knitting! (I don't think I will suffer a bit.)
