Bought any yarn today?

Dear users, dear authors,
How’s it going? Have you bought any yarn today, or are you still on your yarn diet?

Here’s the link to the current yarn diet event.

Final round for world domination Tunisian crochet continues
Scraps are the best

No, I do want world domination.
But I’ve already been looking at all the things I’ll buy once I have it.
I found a new store with such beautiful yarn cakes. And I’m going to snap some up in April!

Yes! 1 ball because I’m running out of leftovers :D

Yes! 1 skein because I'm running out of leftover yarn :D But I'm not on a wool diet anyway ;-)

Hi,

no, I’m still on my “wool diet,” and I have to say, it’s going pretty well.

After all, I want to rule the world. ;-)

Best regards, Heike

No, I haven’t bought anything. I’ve been living off my stash, and have been doing so all year now.

I did buy one skein for my granny blanket, but that doesn’t count—I need it to finish the project.

  It’s getting harder for me every day. I’d love to just take a look at what’s out there. I’m sure the shelves are full of summer yarns. But it’s too dangerous for me. I give every yarn store a wide berth.

I’ve already crocheted/knitted 3,900 meters from my stash this year, and there’s still sooooo much scattered all over the house. 

No, I haven’t bought anything. I’m sticking to this “wool diet” strictly.
With my stash, that’s no problem anyway.

I’m being so good :-) We’re in Rostock right now, and I saw a fantastic yarn shop… but I didn’t buy anything.
I want world domination, after all. My husband was also surprised that I didn’t haul out any big bags. 

Wow, Arni, pat on the back! :-) :-) I probably wouldn’t have even gone into the store right now because the temptation is too great.

I’m sticking with the “Yarn Diet” too, at least until the end of April, and it’s getting easier and easier for me. I’ve got everything I need in stock for my current and future projects anyway. And it’s really fun to finally get all that beautiful yarn worked up.

What I think is great is that several of us are doing this together. It’s really easy to stick with it when we’re in it together. And once we’ve achieved world domination (grin… over ourselves), we’ll reward ourselves with a yarn-buying spree. :-) Just thinking about it makes me happy.

I’ll join in again when the shopping spree starts!

You’re probably trying to tempt us now that we’re so close to world domination :-)

No, Monika was the one who held that out as a possibility :D

Monika, please don’t use such offensive words :-)

I was very good today and managed to resist, despite the new, sneaky sales tactic:
the yarn was set up right at the checkout area!!!

Just imagine how mean it is when you’re standing in that loooong line and have to spend the whole time waiting staring at that gorgeous yarn... but I’m determined to stick with it...grin.

Ida, you’ve put a smile on my face. :-)
That’s such a lovely phrase: “wool-buying frenzy”...
I’m just remembering what that feels like.

But no, of course I want world domination (over myself) too, just like everyone else who’s sticking to it.

Oh yeah, Marlies, that’s really mean. I don’t even want to imagine what it’s like to be standing NEXT to that amazing yarn at the register. Oh no!

All the more reason to give yourself a pat on the back for sticking it out. Suuuuper!!
The reward will come at the end of April or beginning of May with the yarn-buying frenzy! :-)

Well, not today, but we were in Wuppertal two weeks ago because my husband wanted to go to a record shop. And who would’ve guessed it: on the way from the car to the record shop, I spotted a yarn store... I just called out to my husband, “Pick me up here later,” and disappeared into the store... hehe. Loot: two skeins from Zitron—one Yak and one something-or-other in a great color. They’ve been sitting on the shelf ever since, right there in plain sight and within easy reach. Until I figure out what they’re going to become. The better the yarn, the longer it sits there. Sounds crazy, but some yarn is almost too good to use... haha
Greetings, Caro

Well, I just wanted to know whether you're being brave and can resist the yarn. Plundering yarn shops doesn't go well with the final round for world domination.
:-)
UFO Week starts next week, don't forget that.

As you can see, Josefa, the candidates for world domination here are brave and resisting all temptation. :-)

Good. I’m proud of you.

Yes, two skeins of Baby Cotton for a comfort blanket, since I don’t have the colors I wanted. The baby was born on Saturday. It soon became clear that world domination wasn’t going to happen: Babies are, of course, more important and shouldn’t have to wait too long for their gifts!

Congratulations and best wishes to the baby and its parents.

I’m finding it tough, since I always have those beautiful yarns right in front of me.
But so far, I’m sticking with it and finishing up all the projects I’ve started.
It feels great when one project after another gets finished.
