I make a little swatch, figure it’s great, and jump right in. Many times I find that I should have made a bigger swatch! But the commitment is there; I just have to start over.

I don’t stash much either. Just the occasional sock yarn. And I’m not a big sock knitter. It just feels like a smaller commitment than a sweater’s worth!

They don’t have to have an intended recipient or pattern before they are purchased, and don’t count against a knitter as stash. They live outside of stash designations.”

Yes, of course! This makes such perfect sense that I should have realized it ages ago. I will have to employ this feat of logic Saturday.
