Take my Dishcloth Yarn Please, Part 2

By -
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Well isn't it funny that we all seem to have more dishrag cotton than we need? Thank you all for your kind offers to knit me a dishrag, but I can only accept from the person who takes my yarns! I think the yellow would make cute doll hair.....all you dolly knitters out there. Let's just see if I really can't give it away!

I went to my LYS sale today. I went with specific ideas in mind. I came out empty knitting handed!
I think it is good that I am getting very particular about my yarns right now.
I was in a phase of buy something with no project in mind when I began to knit.

Then I hit a phase of buy it if it is a good deal, with no project in mind.

Now I am in a tired of stash stage of mind.

For me right now, it feels right to only buy it as I am going to knit it.

Let's see how long this phase lasts.

WHat phase are you in? :)

It is funny, because I have knit all of ONE dishcloth and have tons of dishcloth yarn. I don't think I knew what I was buying exactly

I'm tempted by the yarn - cheap dishcloth cotton is hard to come by in the UK. But really, I don't need any more yarn.

I haven't bought anything but toy yarn in a bout a thousand years. But before that, anything larger than sock yarn was bought with a plan (just because that plan wasn't executed doesn't mean there wasn't one).

I agree! I'm in a knit from stash phase having just passed the buy for a specific project phase. I seem to be tailoring knit projects to my stash. You know the world is changing when knitters change their yarn buying habits!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
