Absintence Pledge

On my honor, I pledge to make a dent in my yarn stash. To knit or crochet up as many items as I can using existing yarn. Have bags and bags of sock yarn. I think that some of it is begging to be make into fingerless mittens and gloves for Christmas. Maybe a baby or toddler sweater or two. And don't forget socks, lots and lots of socks.

I swear this on my stack of knitting books, magazines, pattern booklets, and individual patterns both in hardcopy and those stored on my laptop. So help me Elizabeth Zimmerman.

Of course, that might not count some lucious, exotic lace weight yarn if I decide to try my hand at some delicate lace.

Shhhhhh, don't tell my son-in-law and daughter how much I have hidden away in closets.

I have an addiction

I don't know what it is about yarn. I have sworn to knit down my stash, and not buy any more yarn. But there are so many soft, beautiful yarns out there. And sock yarns! Lots and lots of sock yarns. Seems that I am adding yarn faster than I can knit it. MUST QUIT BUYING YARN. MUST KNIT MORE!
