I am posting this here as I can't seem to publish it on the stashalong site, I will put it there later if I can.
I did pretty well, I did use my one day of shopping to purchase some nice ribbon yarn from donni when she was at Kiama Markets on Easter Monday. I am still knitting beanies for Just Enough Faith, which is reducing my stash a bit, beanies seem to take so long to finish.
#2 son's girlfriend asked me last night if I would knit her a black vest for work, I said I would, but that will involve buying yarn, maybe I will get her to buy it, then it is not me buying it, although as I want to be especially good during May, I may just use my one day of buying yarn for May this saturday, as a friend from SNB is opening a brand new yarn shop and is offering a discount during the opening, so then I can just knit away the rest of May. Anyway that's my plan. Good luck to everyone for May.
I haven't got any photo's of all the knitting I have been doing as #2son has the camera taking photos of progress on doing his car up. I have finished knitting the Heather pattern baby jacket, I do have to stitch it together and get some buttons to finish it.
I feel like putting a 'what to knit next' plan here, but I don't know if I could stick to it, as we all know how quickly things can change in what we are knitting. But at this stage my plan is:
1. finish the beanie I am working on for Just Enough Faith
2. Stitch up baby jacket
3. Put together 2 rugs for the Mental Health Ward at Shellharbour Hospital with squares Aunty Rose has knitted.
4. I guess get wool for Black Vest for #2 son's girlfriend
5. Start the Circle Jacket for myself from Interweave Knits
I will see how I can stick to this plan.

Oh Annie,
You are surely being tested on the yarn diet, aren't you?
I'm positive it doesn't count if someone else buys the yarn.
Good luck!
Oh the temptation ... how will you ever bear it?
I hear ya, Annie! I'm knitting socks trying to use up some stash, but they only use one or two balls of yarn, so the stash never sems to get any smaller!
