After all, I do want to leave something for my children to inherit.

Sounds like it might work. Although, myself, since I always order a full bag of 10 skeins for sweaters/vests, etc... because I never know just how much I really am going to need for the project.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12262967461342984920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187154004946294016.post-17752823702656228322010-07-15T11:31:58.322-06:002010-07-15T11:31:58.322-06:00I think that when you stop should depend on some o...I think that when you stop should depend on some other factors as well.<br /><br />For example, how has cold sheeping impacted the way you approach buying yarn? If you think you will be more measured in the future, then you can stop earlier than if you think buying any yarn will open the flood gates. <br /><br />Another thing you may contemplate is figuring out how many balls of each weight of yarn you have and allow yourself to start buying in a particular category when you have less than a certain amount. That is to say, for example, you would be allowed to buy more lace weight when you had less than ten balls of lace weight in your stash.<br /><br />Another way to approach gradually going back to buying yarn would be to set a ratio of stash used to yarn bought. For example, you could buy one project's worth of yarn for every 5 projects you completed from stash.<br /><br />It is my understanding that you want to be able to buy yarn for some things, but still work down the size of your stash. I think there are a number of approaches you could use to accomplish that.Gaidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137796009019992269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2187154004946294016.post-38193256527587679032010-07-15T05:42:08.322-06:002010-07-15T05:42:08.322-06:00500 might work, but I think before you hit 100 you...500 might work, but I think before you hit 100 you'd be finding that you didn't have the yarn you wanted to knit the particular project you had in mind. <br /><br />At the risk of asking an awkward question, I notice that a few times you've started something and mentioned that the yarn you were using hadn't made it onto Ravelry. Any idea how much fits into that category, or have you mostly got it all in by now.RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.com
