Oh yeah, I definitely have Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy (SABLE)! I recently made a huge effort to list several destash yarns and fibers though, so I feel somewhat justified in buying more yarn. I definitely agree about your theory of collecting supplies even when there is no scarcity involved!
That’s great that you are being thoughtful about what you keep in your Stash! Even if you refill some destashed spots, you know it’s yarn you will be using—it isn’t just going to sit there forever. 💖
I enjoyed your post today. Over the 17 years I’ve been knitting, I had created quite a stash - 12 cubbies and 2 shelves of yarn, WIP, books and notions. However, in 2020 I lost my desire to knit, and I haven’t got it back. I’ve only done a handful of projects in the last 3 years. So, in April I decided to clear out the majority of my stash. I saved my sock yarn and a few WIP, and I gave the rest away. One friend loaded up her trunk with yarn, patterns, books, and bags to take to a retreat in an area with few yarn stores. I gave 3 bags of random skeins and books to my granddaughter and her friend who is quite the knitter for an 11-year-old. It sure felt good to see my yarn go to people who love to knit. I’m hoping that soon I’ll pick up my needles and finish the socks in progress so I can start the Echo Lodge Socks!
Thank you. I hope you enjoy the Echo Lodge Socks! I’m sorry to hear you lost your knitting mojo, but I’m sure those who received your yarn/books/etc. felt the blessing. 2020 was a rough year for creative inspiration. I hope you will get back the desire to knit. And when you do, you can find new yarns that you love💖
