Ye Olde Stash Enhancement, Part II

Ye Olde Stash Enhancement, Part II

Hello there! If you're new to my podcast, welcome! And if you're returning, I'm so happy that you came back! It means the world to me to share my crafting life with you!

You can find me on Ravelry and Instagram as elissapack. You can also follow the #stitchgoddess and #stitchgoddesspodcast hashtags on Instagram.

So...I have been on a Stash Enhancement splurge for the last few months, and while it has greatly enhanced the beauty of my stash, it wasn't until I added up the entire amount that I realized just how far over my budget I'd gone. By the end of August, I had spent the rest of my allowance*, and it amounted to more than half my annual budget. In the spirit of keeping things honest and accountable, I spent a grand total of $1,571.56. GULP.

*A note about my allowance: in order for my husband and I to avoid feelings of resentment over spending, we agreed to an allowance of $300 per person per month. This seems like a lot, but it sure goes quickly if you're not paying attention!

But, oh, the beautiful yarn...it's so delicious and irresistible! I may just have to surround myself in a cocoon of skeins to pacify myself over the next few months. You know it's bad when you've already formed a wish list of yarns from specific dyers... 😉

Behold, the latest beauties from lovely England!
