Okay, what does my (to me) humongous stash of yarn have to do with 2012?
I spent the better part of a day last week re-organizing my yarn bins and cleaning up the mess. A cat would have a heyday with the flowing strings and balls! Everything was being placed into semi-clear bins by color, except for one bin of only cotton.
And what I discovered were some wonderful threads I had forgotten about so I pulled out a bunch and put them in a basket.......whoa! STOP!!!! That's how the mess got started with the "I'm going to use this next" basket of yarn which was next to the "new yarn I don't want to put away" basket besides the "scraps of yarns just finished with" basket....ugh!
I put them all back in their respective bins. I emptied my 2 knitting totes of all their odd leftovers and stashed them as well.
And we were neat again.
So what does this have to do with 2012? AGAIN, I vow to make a dent in this stash. Unless there is a special order calling for a color I don't have (unlikely) I will NOT purchase yarn. For how long? I dunno! But I'm going to try. I am going to disregard the 50% off coupons and walk away.
The photos just show 3 of the 6 bins.
Oh, see anything you like/need/want? Let me know and it just may be listed in the shop! That's another way to get rid of some and then buy more, right???!!!
Happy,Healthy 2012!
January 3....not to be believed....just got a special order and don't have the color for part of it. What color, you ask? BLACK!!!!

hahaha! Love your optimism! I'm not going to buy any buttons next year either! LOL! Happy New Year my friend!
I wish you lots of strength for that! I know it was super hard for me. But I did great this year I just bought what I needed for orders.
I wish you a good 2012 and I am not going to tell you which yarns I liked from your bins.
Hugs♥
oooh, that's a hard resolution to keep! I'm already thinking about new yarn, but like you, I have resolved to use up what I have first. Like staying off sweets.
