I have the self restraint of a hotel heiress on crack*

{*TM Nora Young} You may recall that I said I wasn't going to start anything until I finished Da Bears Socks? Well, this is going to be a Calorimetry. I was doing fine with my knitting monogamay until Ev asked me "would you like me to wind this into a ball for you?" as she rung up my yarn purchase... So would I be able to make it through the Knit from your Stash KAL? I'm thinking of personalizing the Knit From Your Stash 2007 rules to the following: 1. The Knit-From-Your-Stash-a-Thon will start February 12**, 2007 and run through October 18, 2007 -- a period of nine months. **This will be suspended during the Sea Socks Cruise, so it's going to start a week early. 2. I will not buy any yarn during that period, with the following exceptions: 2.a. Sock yarn does not count, nor do orphan skeins. Let's face it, they don't take up all that much room in the stash. 2.b. If someone asks for a specific knitted gift that I really and truly do not have the yarn for, I may buy yarn to knit that gift. 2.c. If I am knitting something and run out of yarn, I may purchase enough to complete the project. 2.d. If I am making something felted, and have at least 75% of the yarn requirements in the stash, I can purchase enough yarn of the same brand to complete the project. This is to avoid felting mishaps. 3. I am allowed to receive and give gifts of yarn, and swaps are fair game. 4. If I do break down and buy something, I will get rid of the equivalent amount of yarn as a RAK/donation to charity. I'm postponing the start of the yarn fast for 2 reasons - the first is to have it end on my birthday. The second is because my new Sister-in-law is going to be having a baby in June, and I need to figure out what I am going to knit for it. My stash doesn't realy run to baby type colours, so I might need to pick up something. However, I will try my best to come up with something that will use stash yarn.
