I just look at my latest purchase, take a picture I can put on Ravelry and stuff the skein into stash container. Then I mostly forget it. I'm not excited of getting new yarn like I used to be. Seeing pretty yarn online and buying it simply because I like the colors is a habit. I'm thinking a stash diet with no new purchases is badly needed.

I'm not saying don't go with your plan, it's a good plan if you can follow through, because one must start someplace when things get out of hand, but go easy on yourself. As an example, myself: I resolved not to go to MD S&W (about 1/2 hr from my house) this year because I've bought too much yarn. So what do I do the DAY BEFORE S&W? I order yarn online (everything on sale!). What do I do the 1st day of S&W? I go to the LYS. And on Mon at work? I was innocently wandering around Etsy and, yes, more yarn (just one skein of sock yarn!). Now I'm wondering if my mother doesn't need a full-length cashmere cardi. All diets are doomed.

I'm going to NOT go to the Webs sale this month so it's good to hear that someone else is right there with me. So if you're not buying yarn, does that include Rhinebeck? (PS- I fixed my email in your comments) Good looking goals. I’m going to NOT go to the Webs sale this month so it’s good to hear that someone else is right there with me.

I did the same thing earlier this year when I dedicated certain parts of the stash to projects. The projects might not get made straight away, but the intention is there. Have broken the yarn diet a bit, but am now back on it. Am going to start counting the number of balls OUT rather than in! It’s brave, but a very good idea.
