Well, R has made me pinky swear that I won't just randomly hoard yarn. So I'm hoarding patterns instead. They take up less space.
That's how it starts! I almost never buy yarn without a pattern in mind...but then something else comes up or you have leftovers or you decide you don't like the original pattern anymore, or someone hears that you took up knitting and gives you yarn for your birthday...and that's how you build a stash.
I have given up on a project for the first time in years - It's the passepartout and it involves alternating colours in stripes the whole freaking width of the thing. At the end of each row, I have to untwist the two colours of yarn for 5 minutes. Nope. Not going to finish it.
I've moved onto a quick and easy pattern I made for my friend last spring. I want spring weather!
