yarn diet

I have decided to go along with the yarn diet on this website - http://wendyknits.net/stash2007.htm.

She says some yarn store owners are giving her a hard time but we are really trying to get rid of debt so we can get out of military housing. I have been on the yarn modified diet for over a year now and now I am going on the strict yarn diet. My modified diet was to only buy yarn that I really had an idea of what I wanted to make out of it. My strict diet is to only knit from my stash and to only buy enough yarn to finish a project started from my stash and no extra. There is only 1 exception to my diet - I have asked my LYS to get me 2 balls on New Brunswick and 2 balls of Newfoundland sock yarn. I am even going to go on a knitting magazine diet. My current rule to be able to buy a knitting magazine is that there has to be 4 things I would like to make out of it. My new rule is that there has to be 6 things that I want to make out of each magazine to buy it.

Well that is my new years diet - since I don't make resolutions that will have to be it.
