Self-Sabotage?

I love yarn.  I love knitting, and now crocheting.  I find it sooo relaxing.  In the past, I’d see yarn that I loved and bought it – with no plans.  Usually one skein, rarely more.  Who could resist that color? the texture?  maybe a sale price?  Now I’m faced with a stash of colors and weights that I am baffled what to do with it.  Yes, I like to make tiny projects and little toys – but they’re hard to take on-the-go (I end up carrying bags of stuffing and sewing tools which gets crazy!)  I’m kind of tired of making dishcloths.  Working on some baby booties… Don’t know what to do next.


Do you ever have yarn lust? 
I couldn’t resist picking up this Smooshy yarn, thinking of a baby hat or two for gifts, but it may have been a bit unrealistic.  Should have had a project to work on before buying.  Next time I’m heading to a yarn event, I think I’ll look at all my projects beforehand so I can buy enough to complete something.


Another pair of Saartje’s Booties off the needles.
Maybe I’m in a little slump.  Been doing things automatically and can’t get my creative mojo fired up.  Ideas are popping in my head but I’m just not sitting down to make them.  Could it be the rainy summer? 
What do you do with your small amounts of yarn?  I’d love to be inspired by you!
