I will not:
* Buy yarns thinner than 8ply/dk (except sock yarn) unless I have a pattern for it that I WILL knit (ie. something small and delectable).
* Buy too little yarn. Sure, I could make a hat or mitts, but how many hats and mitts do I really need? If it’s not worth buying a whole jumper’s worth, don’t buy it.
* Buy yarn just because I was in a shop I hadn’t visited before and felt I had to buy something.
* Buy yarn just because I was at a show or fair and felt I had to buy something.
* Buy little odd balls of yarn just because I was in another country and felt I needed a souvenir. (See previous point about buying too little yarn.)
* Buy extra yarn I don’t have a planned project for when mail ordering.
* Buy yarn because it’s made of something wierd or innovative.
* Buy yarn just because it’s popular at the moment.
* Buy yarn just because it’s on sale.
* Look at the yarn bins in op shops.

I will:
* Accept gifted yarn gratefully.
* Continue to fondle my stash on a regular basis.
* Photograph my stash every six months and do a cull if necessary.
* Send old wips to the op shop if they no longer delight me. They might delight someone else.
* Love my leftovers. They’re the remains of stash I actually made something out of and mark stages in my knitterly development.
* Buy good reliable inexpensive yarn from locals like Bendy, Cleckheaton and Patons.
* Buy the yarn specified for Fantasy Projects unless it is immorally expensive, or I really do have a fabulous substitute.
* Be more courageous about making my own patterns.
* Use my own handspun so I’m motivated to spin more.
