I've promised myself that I won't buy yarn until I've finished some older projects. I'm knitting and knitting, but that basket remains full. Possibly because I keep finding more projects stuffed in corners and baskets throughout the house.<br /><br />I don't know anyone who wears a kilt, but I feel the urge to make a jabot. I love the fiddly, lacy stuff.

But could it be time to review the stash to see if you still really want everything in it? You could try de-stashing on Ravelry; I've been meaning to do so for a while but haven't yet organized myself or the stash.<br />-- GretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7406981766455139562010-04-13T16:52:09.454+01:002010-04-13T16:52:09.454+01:00That looks gorgeous - a true heirloom!
