It was an eye opening experience. I used Excel. My inventory included the maker, the content, the recommended needle size, the gauge, the color, the yardage ... and the project planned for each. <br /><br />What I discovered was that based on knitting 5,000 yards of yarn a year, I could knit for 30 years and never buy yarn during that time. <br /><br />No, I did not stop buying yarn - but it did slow my purchasing down considerably. And I am crawling out of the knitting slump this year ... slowly, but it is happening.<br /><br />Elaine<br />Retired KnitterRetired Knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662288640032813770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411393606085125284.post-43155544069055514602011-08-08T16:02:04.054-04:002011-08-08T16:02:04.054-04:00What a great blog - and some wonderful ideas!

I had a list of goals with my stash at the beginning of the year that I followed through about May, but then it fizzled. Now I need to get some projects finished before people outgrown them.Tanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003931531985436340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411393606085125284.post-11140792316524477592011-08-03T19:45:38.714-04:002011-08-03T19:45:38.714-04:00Yes!

If I let myself stray, maybe I'd end up with more completed projects. I get demotivated on my project and feel some sort of duty to complete it before moving on, which results in me having a TUNIC in STOCKINETTE that I started in APRIL and STILL haven't finished. I think I need a plan too...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411393606085125284.post-70414471624025028442011-08-03T10:15:17.947-04:002011-08-03T10:15:17.947-04:00I read it and like your plan; I may even adopt bit...I read it and like your plan; I may even adopt bits of it.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893624492544606413noreply@blogger.com
