Whew!!! Good Lord! I am happy sock yarns don’t count as well. I am thinking of joining the Knit From Your Stash group as well….but am not sure if I want to admit I have a problem just yet. ;0) At least not until I have hit all these December inventory sales around here. (evil laugh inserted here) My Celtic Swan needles are fabulous, by the way. I have socks on them already. Thanks so much for the extra trouble!!! Happy New Year!

Oh heavens, I would never in a million years ever consider just knitting from my stash. It’s so much fun to buy new yarn, and there are so many beautiful yarns out there that I haven’t tried yet and can’t wait to try them. To me, 1/2 the fun of knitting is buying new georgous, soft, colorful yarns. Heee, I love having a pretty and colorful stash.

haha, I definitely saw the knitting smores ornament at the store yesterday afternoon and told my mother that it reminded me of something you would appreciate. oh, and i hear that the sniffing thing is a piece of knowledge to which only the truly caffeinated, *excuse me* “sophisticated” are privy.

I really like the button reminder about the socks - I just joined a sock club and was looking over your site for some more retail therapy…. gotta treat yourself too during the holidays right?

Awww…I have that S’more’s cousin hanging on my tree! Amidst the sheep and the wolves. Hey! They live in harmony at my place! Love the Sock Yarns Don’t Count As Stash button!

I finished my Christmas shawl yesterday, YEAH! Unfortunately it smells like the bowling alley because that’s where I was when I finished it. Heh, heh… That’ll come out when I wash and block it.

Still have a hat and a possible scarf to go. (Recipient said she was “okay” with the color; maybe I’ll just buy something instead. =P)

Love the button!

Cool trick about the Starbucks coffee bags. Who knew!

No point in pretending I will only knit from my stash in 2007. I know good and well I will buy plenty of yarn no matter what, sock yarn or otherwise. Hehe. However the ideas are always good. Mom says I will not use my yarn before I die which is SO not true (unless I die pretty soon God forbid). She wants to measure the time. I said she has to measure a turnover rate cause the yarn buffet is never ending. :>)

2 holiday socks to go but I did squeeze in a pair of sweet little fingerless gloves this weekend. (From Knittys Summer 2006 issue.) Way easy and fast knitting. They are a stocking gift for mom so it counts as gift knitting I guess.

No worries - I will be fully support the yarn industry in 2007. I will be knitting from my stash too - once I buy it, it gets home, it touches the other yarn I have, it IS my stash. No yarn diet for me as I stated in my most recent blog post - this is what I believe we should be doing!!! Happy Holidays!
