I have a few Noro jumpers/hoodies I have the yarn for so I'd love to get at least one done this year. Just waiting for my motivation to come back!<BR/><BR/>I love your goal for no stash buying in Jan. Much better than aiming for the whole year in one go :)RoxyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208144405594665967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-8908632838063621282008-01-13T08:40:00.000-08:002008-01-13T08:40:00.000-08:00I was going to my Shedir from my stash, but I chan...I was going to my Shedir from my stash, but I changed my mind because I didn't want to dip into the Calmer I have since there's enough to make a whole sweater. So I cought a different color - a nice plum.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to cast on for a shrug-like sweater using Noro Kureyon that I bought at Stitches West last year.<BR/><BR/>I'm tempted to join the Stash Knit Down 2008, but I haven't been so good at accomplishing knitting goals in the past. I'm going to ponder it. Good luck to you!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654805877175642253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-62401497772026954392008-01-11T18:24:00.000-08:002008-01-11T18:24:00.000-08:00LONG LIVE THE KEGS!

Wow woman, you are on FIRE! I can understand you being nervous about that end of year promise, but I bet you surprise yourself and manage to finish all of it. :) I know you can do it. I'll have to check out all of those groups. Maybe they can help me. My goals? I'm going to do some charity knitting since the baby knitting is getting out of hand, knit my very own shawl, finish cobblestone...the list goes on. Looks like I have some planning to do!!

Like Ellen, I don't find that much exciting in the yarn shops. However, I will be going to Webs...next week, eek!<BR/>And, I kind of like the bonfire option on MP2008...mehitabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07855340553296575495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-2059118978307319052008-01-11T09:48:00.000-08:002008-01-11T09:48:00.000-08:00You're so brave!

Perish the thought. <BR/><BR/>So - so far this month: 2 baby hats and a kid's hat from stash leftovers; hat and mitts from stash; Shedir from stash; socks in process from very old <BR/>stash. So I'm feeling good here. <BR/><BR/>Plus, Elann had a bag blow-out sale of my favorite Highland Silk, and I didn't buy any. Not one skein. And it's now discontinued. White-knuckled moment here, but Ravelry told me I have lots.CatBookMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13539824268008907535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-91961897259695410962008-01-10T21:52:00.000-08:002008-01-10T21:52:00.000-08:00You know how fantastic a healthy stash makes me fe...You know how fantastic a healthy stash makes me feel!!! Whoa! Kinky!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've noticed that when I'm at yarn shops lately, nothing really excites me to buy because I already own it in my stash. If you walk into a yarn shop just to look at the patterns, accessories and socialize, then you'll be OK. It's like walking into a bakery when you've just eaten a huge lunch. Bleah...nothing looks that great. Try it!<BR/><BR/>P.S. Very funny post!

Avoidance is my friend. Mission Possible scares me, but I like the idea of knitting a Christmas gift each month. Yeah right. I toyed with the idea of doing another sockamonth but I don't think I can handle the pressure. I'm just going to continue to knit with whatever the heck I feel like. Oh and I bought yarn today.

I can't commit to the no yarn buying thing though, I know I would give in the second a good sale came around :)<BR/><BR/>I look forward to seeing how you do and cheering you on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-52457491664344129202008-01-10T15:50:00.000-08:002008-01-10T15:50:00.000-08:00Omigosh, I have been on a (monetarily-induced) sta...Omigosh, I have been on a (monetarily-induced) stash diet for a good 6 months now, but somehow it doesn't seem to have gotten any smaller. And I didn't have that much to begin with! I think if I crank out all the fingerless gloves I was planning for my sock yarn, it will shrink dramatically. Good luck with your projects!Clumsy Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447035795621048079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-48046477390480462872008-01-10T14:42:00.000-08:002008-01-10T14:42:00.000-08:00Well, I posted my 12 WIPs on MP2008 today.

And I stash dove and came up with one lonely skein of Malabrigo in a very nice boy color.<BR/><BR/>I'm also going to be posting a stash sale on my blog and ravelry, but that is NOT part of MP 2008.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-9873472877552459352008-01-10T13:56:00.000-08:002008-01-10T13:56:00.000-08:00I joined Stash Knit Down 2008 as well.. but haven'...I joined Stash Knit Down 2008 as well.. but haven't posted a single thing, I think :) I want to use up some stashed items, but mostly because we're trying to save money, and if I didn't buy so much yarn I would have more moolah! So far I have some gifts planned from the stash (although I have done and need to buy more to finish things off) and conveniently some patterns have cropped up lately that will help with that, mostly bags, but whatever. Can you have too many bags?Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201389288203986193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34469853.post-38317736216618726252008-01-10T13:15:00.000-08:002008-01-10T13:15:00.000-08:00I'm not brave enough to join any groups, but I've ...I'm not brave enough to join any groups, but I've been on an informal plan to knit from the stash for the last bit. All of my current and known future projects are planned "from the stash" except for the order of sale Soft Tweed I got yesterday from Ram Wools for a sweater-thing :)jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864066847052675219noreply@blogger.com
