From a post I made to the Knitlist on June 27, 2007:
In my case, I'm not quite on a yarn diet, but if I don't pay
attention I will buy yarn compulsively, because it is pretty and not
because I need it. My rules are - (1) No buying anything unless I
have a specific project in mind for it; (2) For each pair of socks I
finish, I can buy one more ball of sock yarn; (3) Anything hand-spun,
hand-dyed, or otherwise unique, anything on sale for more than 50%
off, or anything I see on a visit to a new or non-local yarn store
can justify an exception to the former two rules; (4) anything goes
at the Webs tent sale, the Webs year-end sale, and Rhinebeck, at
least until the credit cards are declined.
Such reasonable rules!
