I've updated the sidebar. Notice the big new colorful button? I'm accepting the challenge. I know, I know...Stitches West is around the corner...I'm not an idiot. If you read the guidelines you can add your own exceptions to suit your own situation. My situation includes Stitches West so I'm adding the following 2 exceptions:
2e. Knitting Conventions are exempt -- yeah, you heard me -- if the esteemed authors of this challenge are holding out for Stitches East then I can shop at Stitches West and TKGA. But to be fair -- for every convention attended you must extend the challenge 1 month. So, for me this will go thru November.
2f. Yarn required for any class I take during the challenge is also exempt.
So far I'm doing okay. I have plenty of stash -- and we're talking yarn here, not books or patterns. And I do spin so if I really needed a fiber fix I can fulfill my needs in that manner. This weekend I bought yarn only for my class at Stitches West and completing a project -- and this was before I even knew about the challenge.
Anyone want to join me?

Jocelyn,
I'm joining you in reducing my stash - I am presently finishing a shawl collared sweater that I bought from Webs at Stitches last year and will wear to Stitches this year. My next project is another sweater for myself with yarn bought at Uncommon Threads years ago. I would really like to work through this stuff this year!!

Jocelyn, I also,want to knit from my stash. I would like to make Rowan's Florence shrug, but cannot find the pattern.
Can you help?
Honey
