Knitting Budget This year, I've given myself a "knitting budget." I can only spend $60/month on knitting- books, yarn, tools, whatever.... It was originally $50/month, but I realized that wasn't going to work. For January and February, my total (so far) is $134.36... which means I'm almost $15 over. Hopefully I will make it up though...
This whole budget idea has definitely made me think carefully about what I'm going to knit next, where I'll get the yarn, etc.... Of course, so far, I already have about $200 worth of "future purchases" lined up, just waiting until the next month...
Looking ahead, my next "home project" will be Gustava. But not until I finish the Menagerie. UGH! I'm glad I have Ocean to distract me, because the Menagerie is really annoying right now- probably because I keep putting it off! ;) I did read a great hint that will hopefully make Menagerie easier.... use wooden clothes pins as bobbins... the clip keeps them from unraveling, but it's really easy to get more yarn when you need them. Tonight I'll see if I can find some at the drugstore. Presumably people still hang clothes up, right? I know I don't, but I would if I had space for a clothes line.
