Yarn Reduction

As many knitters and fiber people can identify with, I have found myself overwhelmed with stash. I guess I found out why it is called stash because I kept stashing it here and there. Now, having accumulated a couple bins of yarn, I find myself wondering what to do with it. I have started knitting from my stash in hopes of using it up some day (one can only dream). This year have resolved not to buy yarn until I have used enough of my stash to see a difference. So far, since January, I have knit up 6 and 1/2 skeins of yarn and counting. I have no goal in mind for destashing, only to use up what I have bought and do projects I have been planning instead of continuing to plan new ones. I just finished Pomatamus socks by Cookie A using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in Bumble Bee (a great striping yellow and black yarn), and I am planning to venture into a lace pattern from the new Interweave Knits using some Lorna's Laces Helen in Watercolors. It should be interesting since this is my first large lace piece.
