Dear Haekeltrulla,
Congratulations on becoming a "Schweinehund Conqueror" for a year without buying yarn = a whole year of using only stash yarn and leftover yarn.
That is a fantastic achievement. I had no doubt that you would actually stick it out.

Would you like to keep dieting, or are you going yarn shopping?
If you keep dieting, in one year I will award you the title
Super Yarn Mountain Conqueror.

Would you like to tell us how the yarn diet, the leftover yarn, and your yarn stash went for you?

@everyone,
is there anyone among you who is currently working toward becoming a Schweinehund Conqueror? Let me know.

@Wollefaden,
how is it going for you? Are you diligently working on the "Yarn Mountain Conqueror"? What is life like with the title "Schweinehund Conqueror"?

Well, I try to conquer my inner slacker every day. “Move more, don’t eat so much” :-))

Maybe in 2019 I’ll have better luck getting a few kilos off the scale.

When it comes to buying yarn, I consider myself very reasonable, but that’s in the eye of the beholder. I don’t think my husband sees it that way.

I wish you all a great start to the new year.

Warm regards, Diana

Wow, much respect! Of course, I’d also like to congratulate you on such a great achievement, Häkeltrulla!
I’ve started the yarn diet again too, and I’m curious to see how long it lasts this time.

Best regards, Monika

Congratulations, Häkeltrulla ☺☺????????????????

I knew you could do it, too.

Josefa, life as a “Conqueror of the Inner Slacker” is wonderful. It’s just so nice to see the yarn stash getting smaller.
I’m still at it and trying to stick with it for a while longer.

Wow, häkeltrulla, you have my full admiration!

As for me, I’m obviously NOT joining the next “Yarn Diet” again… it’s just not my thing ;-)

Congratulations, Häkeltrulla! I admire you for your perseverance—something I simply lack when it comes to not buying yarn. There are just too many deals and beautiful yarns that simply want to come home with me. But you have my admiration.

Thank you all very much.

It actually wasn't hard. Since I have so much yarn stash that I think I can keep going for another year
.

I’ll definitely try until it really isn’t possible anymore.

Best, Heike

Impressive, I can’t even imagine how that’s supposed to work. That really is a great achievement; congratulations. But you are making sure you don’t become yarn-anorexic, right?
That wouldn’t be for me at all; I’ve got a yarn purchase planned for today...
