I agree about using your stash from each festival before buying any more at the next one. I have yarn that I purchased on ebay years ago and have not had the time to knit. New yarns with new ideas seem to catch me and I end up knitting that rather than seeking yarn in my enormous stash that could be used for a yarn store. I will probably go to MDS&W festival in ’07, but will use more restraints with my purchases. Good luck with this endeavor and I keep reading.

I understand where we all are coming from. There is so much wonderful wools out there, great prices, and almost a panic when something looks good but when we get it–we are underwhelmed to say the least. Buddying up with a friend to help you make wise purchases is a wonderful idea. Supporting one another “You know I really like the burgundy mohair on you, the sale puke yellow mohair is on sale for a reason.” is a wonderful remark a good friend can make. Your tastes are also going to change. As is your coloring. Trying various sock yarns and then doing socks because you love socks is wonderful. Can you make thick snowy winter socks with some of the yarn? Develop a new pattern? Go ahead a try, it is worth your time in creativity and adventure. Don’t like your mohair either trade it with someone who wants to get rid of a bundle of fingering weight or sockweight yarn. Can’t find that person why not dye it a color that comforts you. A loopy mohair can be knit on super size needles and be made a shawl. Don’t like it find someone who does. There are lots of us out there. You can also take a mohair yarn add a cotton slub and knit these together. Or make a wild animal or felted bag! I have tons of ideas and 43 clear plastic containers. I also have some serious concerns about the shear amount of yarn I have. I have further reservations about the upcoming stitches here in Baltimore. I want somethings, but you know, how much of this can I knit in a lifetime and who else will wear what I knit–not too many in my house, infact other than a sweater for hubby, a completed shawl for neices ring dance tonight not many people at all. One thing that I do is that periodically I cull my stash, (I feel it coming again) and I give to friends who can’t afford stitches, mds&w, rhinebeck and let them try really nice stuff and they knit for friends and family that they love. It goes to good use—eventually. Sorry for the long post. You all are great.

That’s a great analysis and plan – it will be interesting to see if you can carry it out. I don’t think I could.

My mom and I do this with Hershey. Last year I totally flaked on that pact, but this year I’ve already finished one of the cross-stitch kits I bought at Hershey. So, GO ME!
My only goal for Rhinebeck 07 is to finish another sweater. I mean, I’ll of course do socks and socks and more socks, but I’ve 1/3 of a sweater languishing in the stash. LET’S DO THIS!!!!!

i completely can relate to your post. i have No Focus or ADD when it comes to projects and then i get all fuddled up when I’ve got no FO to show for because i’ve been spreading my time around to 5 different projects. I love your pact and perhaps will make one of my own! I’ve never been to MD… hmm an incentive!
