Mary's Sharing Space: Cold Sheeping

Cold Sheeping

I have been using up yarn to make room for more new yarns. There are so many really nice new yarns. So I find yarn and then I spend some time trying to find a pattern to make with it and then decide who should get this gift or should it be given to a charity. There are lots of charities and I do try to help out with those charities. This way I can get some of the new yarns. Blanket yarns, Caron Cakes, and more Sugar N Cream. But I do love sock yarns. I love wandering through yarn stores and finding what they have that is new. New colors, new styles of yarn and best of all new patterns. People who write patterns are also loving these new yarns, too and making new patterns to show case the gorgeous new yarns. So, for the moment, I am cold sheeping (not buying) and using up yarn that I already have and finishing WIPs and saving patterns that I will eventually make.
