step one is admitting you have a problem

So I thought I'd get all my yarn together to see just how bad my yarn hoarding problem is. Here's my stash, in all it's Lincraft-lovin' glory. Things is, after I took this photo I found another small bag behind the couch so the situation is actually worse than it looks here. Shame on me :(

There's a lot of great stuff here - some yummy hand-dyed mohairs and an embarrassingly large stack of Gedifra Fashion Trend in a nice raspberry red (see colour 01 here) that I want to make a jumper out of. Things that I've picked up for each of my obsessions as they come along (and then stuffed into these bags when I realise I haven't got the motivation to carry through).

My Big Fat New Goal is to knit this pile up into useful stuff that people will want. NO MORE WILL I GIVE IN TO THE IMPULSE PURCHASE OF FROU-FROU NOVELTY YARNS. From now on, I will knit with yarn I already have, and any yarn I buy has to be for a pattern I have and will actually complete! Sorry Lincraft you'll have to find someone else to keep you afloat.
