Temptation

Latley I've had to fight powerful urges to buy more yarn. I certainly don't need more yarn. I'm definitely one of those knitters who has a SABLE: Stash Available Beyond Life Expectancy. I know I'll never be able to knit all that yarn, so there's no logical reason to buy more, but I want to. I just want it. It's all so lovely, with the infinite variety of textures and colors. It doesn't help that I get yarn catalogs from 5 different companies and e-mail announcements of sales from dozens of on-line yarn retailers. Furthermore, I don't have room to store the yarn I have. What would I even do with more yarn? I guess the only solution is to knit the yarn I have so I can have room for more--that and cut back on other expenses so I can have more money for yarn.

I've got so much yarn....I can't even find it all...and I STILL buy more! UGH. I'm actually branching out and using weird stuff like polypropeline (sp) to make string bags. I'll have to quite that though...I'm trying to be a bit more enviromentally friendly! OH well....

That's an interesting idea. I've heard of people knitting with cut-up garbage bags, but not polypropyline (sp?). Have you thought about cutting up old T-shirts into strips and using those? I seem to recall an article in either Knitter's or Vogue Knitting years ago in which that technique was explored.

I agree! At least I don't smoke or shoot up heroin, right? ;-)
