Yarn diet.
Jul. 5th, 2014 05:20 amUh. My yarn addiction may have reached compulsive levels.
I started with just buying yarn for one project. The project required X yarn. I bought X yarn.
Then I started planning future projects. They required Y yarn. Oh, then I could do this! So I bought Z yarn -- in two colors! And the Y yarn. Then the first project, hmmm, the yarn didn't really work out, so let's try W yarn.
And -- oh! L yarn is on sale for 30% off. I could use it for this and this project. Or this one.
Now I have ... a lot of yarn.
No more yarn until I finish this sweater in the cream, and the tighter version in the red cotton/modal, and the ultra-loose long-sleeve version in khaki linen/cotton/silk:

And then there's the baby dress for Alaina in the pink acrylic which I should do before she gets too big for the pattern...

I swear, I really don't need more yarn. More hands, maybe.
ETA: Aha! Figured out why my posts stopped crossposting to LJ. Hopefully. Trying to crosspost this again.
