Working throught my stash

I think I am finally getting most of my stash knitted up. I have not bought any new yarn in a while even thought I did get to trade something for some yarn but I am knitting it almost as fast as it comes into my hands. I started looking and most of my stash is just ends of skeins and the yarn that I have recycled over the past month. I think as soon as I am able to buy anything again I will need the yarn. I really would like to make a sweater for myself. I like to one for the book Yarn Girls Guide to Simple Knits. The weekend wonder. I really like this one and it is knit up on #15 needles but I really don't kniw when I will every be able to afford that big of a yarn purchase. I do normally spend more than $10 per purchase. My husband has been out of work for about 3 months now and I have a small gift shpo and business has been so slow that I have been just making my overhead. I just feel a little down on myself right now and I had to say this somewhere. If I talk to me husband about feeling this way I think it makes him feel worse. He has a job prospect but it does not start until the middle of august and he is do some farm work on the side with is paying some of the bills . So I have to learn to rein in my yarn shopping habits, and I just like most women I know love to shop. I just love to shop for yarn.

I can understand where you're coming from. It must be hard to just make enough to get by and it's always stressful when you're out of work. I was out of work for 6 months and we had a hard time adjusting from one income to two. Yarn purchases unfortunately go by the wayside.

I always like to ask this question of people, what are your top 3 favorite yarns?

Hang in there Katie. It will get better. Even when you have it, it seems like you always need more.
I'm curious too. What are your three favorite yarns. Mine are Lion Brand Micro Spun, I love silk garden but it is too much to use all of the time. And the softer the better too.
