Now that the exchange rate is starting to settle my yearning for stash has increased a billionfold. The combination of Etsy (Knitmommy!) and Ravelry (Alishairish!) (Admittedly in the UK, but still! Look at that destash page!) is killing me. I am fully aware that this is ridiculous. I have oodles of yarns, and not just sock yarns, which is the usual culprit. Back in February I broke and decided that so long as it wasn't sock yarn I was free to buy it. This was because I had a lot of sock yarn. Heaps of the stuff. So I allowed myself to buy a sweater's worth here, a cardi's worth there...
I added 7 jumper's-of-various-sizes worth of yarn to the 4 already there since February. This isn't very much in the grand scheme of things. However, I've currently got two cardigans on the needles (2 months and 1 year, 2 months respectively) and a tunic (6 months) and I've been doing nothing but sock-knitting and shawl-planning since the end of May. And I wasn't supposed to buy any non-Loumms yarn at all this year.
Maybe I should concentrate on increasing my fabric stash instead...
