OK…. I can not keep quiet any longer. What is my position on STASH BUSTING or BUILDING???
Let’s preface this post by saying, I am an Indie businesswoman that loves her little yarn business. I love my clients. I love the process of dyeing. Selling yarn allows me to dye more. (Note:I do use the extra income for more than my fiber addiction).
I love my clients. You rock. You knit with my babies and take them to the next level… the level where they become a garment (or art).
I am hoping that my clients can choose for themselves if they need to bust through some stash. If you think you should stop buying yarn because it is eating into your finances/lifestyle… than you should. Make a personal decision.
I know that I ?should listen?to my?own inner voice. I buy yarn if I can… I?won’t take out a second mortgage if?I can’t. Don’t give away the cat or kid if you can’t feed them,right? (if it was my cat…I may have a hard decision with that one! LOL)
I know that my binge after the diet is much worse that the actual occaisional indulgence.
Enough said. To all of you STASH BUSTERS… I think I can speak for all of us Indie yarn-dyers by saying… see you at 12:01 am the day after Labor Day. Good luck and strength to you.
To all of you STASH BUILDERS…. pssst! I have some candy for you….

Mama E. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Knitting is a very much “me too” community…we latch onto whatever is trendy now…
but to buy yarn or not to buy yarn…that should be an individual’s decision. not one made by the masses
Buy if you’re gonna buy,
don’t buy if you weren’t gonna anyway.
don’t let anyone twist your arm either way (ouch, Mama, that hurts!!!)

I should be on a stash diet, but I’m not. And I wont. If I want yarn, I will buy it! Regardless of my $$$ situation!

I try to stick to my diet (yarn and otherwise) but there are too many temptings around!!!!!!!

Was this directed at me, darling? *just curious* Well, I know it is time for me to make some space in the stash, but in no way does this mean that I don’t support you and other friends that sell their hand-dyed. You know I have nothing but love for you, baby!

My stash is small in comparison to others. Mostly because I’m on budget. I always leave some room for yarn though.
Your yarn is definitely binge-worthy though!
