“SABLE- A common knitting acronym that stands for
Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy.”
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
Yup,that's me; I buy yarn whether I need it or not and I doubt I will live long enough to use it up. I buy yarn that I love and know that I will use and I buy yarn that I don't like so much but know someone else will. Of course I buy yarn for a specific project too. I have to admit that while my yarn stash grows my memory of why I bought it fades. So in keeping with my commitment to finish projects and use up materials, this Christmas I made and gave several hand made gifts using stash. (Thanks to Pinterest there was no shortage of ideas only shortage of time) I made my sisters buttoned cowls, my grand children hats and I even finished two pair of fingerless gloves, one for me and one for Dylan's mom Mary. Everyone seemed to love their gifts and little by little my stash is shrinking. I wish I could say the same for my butt.
Happy New Year Everyone!
May PEACE, LOVE and Prosperity be yours!!

ReplyDeleteJackie, I found your blog on the FB page for the Ultimate Blog Challenge. We have similarly themed blogs! I definitely relate to your "starts and stops." I also started my blog as a way to force myself to finish all my projects. You could say I got a little sidetracked (I had twins...oops!) Good luck with your new endeavors! My mom is a fiendish knitter. Looking forward to seeing your WIPs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary, I am glad you like them. They look nice on you. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks, EO Expat. I look forward to reading your blog too. Have fun with your twins. Happy New Year!
