I’m a little late in commenting here. I’m just doing a routine Midwest Knitters ring check but I couldn’t help but notice your list. I too would love to be a stashless knitter but working in a store with a large discount killed that dream quickly. And I too have many books with few patterns knitted from them. Some of them are just too beautiful for me not to buy, they’re my art books. Finally, I love “boring” stockinette, too.

I love those socks!

I’m totally with you on #1, #2, #7. I’m working on the stashless knitting now. Slowly.

Your bottom row of colors just happens to be my current fall color obsession — I painted a wall in a room we’re renovating that orange shade, and I am looking into that green and brown and blue as accents (and that grey is always one of my favorites).

Comrade!!! I could have every one of those 10 knitterly things, only not half as well as you have. This is my first visit to your blog, but it won’t be the last.

I’m feeling the need to go stashless, but it goes against my upbringing. You should see my Mom’s fabric stash.

I love those colors, and should note that the new colors in my bedroom are among the ones that you selected.

I’ve said before that I want to work at a yarn store, but I was wrong. I just want a yarn store so close to home that I could sit there all day and knit with people. Chatting & knitting & fondling all the new fiber when it comes in. But no need to own it or work there. However, if they paid me to sit & knit, I could totally go for that!

Great socks and great list!

EZ is a goddess! And you so KNOW she’d be a blogger if she were with us today!

The trekkings look great. I too save every bit of yarn, but its getting a bit out of hand lately (overflowing, at least.)

Thanks for answering – I loved your answers, you are a very funny writer! You know, I have no desire to own a yarn business of any kind either… I simply don’t have the patience and (truly) I’m not laid back enough, hehe .

Your trekking socks are great!!! I love the color. I just finished a pair in #105.
Your ten things list is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have a serious thing for socks too.

I have no desire to own or work in a yarn store either. It’s just retail of a different flavor, really, and i am not good with people if exposed to them for extended periods of time.

I also want to be stashless. It’s going to take a while, though. When i started knitting, it was if i was worried i would never find a yarn i liked again. True, i may not find that exact one again, but i may find one i like just as much, or even better. And i may find it at a time i am actually ready to start that new project.

I will have to check out the lonesome skein along. I do have some lonesome skeins (usually leftovers) that need some love. Of course, they may need to find love from someone other than me.

I would LOVE to be a stashless knitter, but I have a long way to go.
