Heh, I have not yet begun to approach SABLE - stash acquisition beyond
life expectancy - stage yet. I tend to buy yarn with projects in mind.
Doesn't matter that I generally don't get to said projects for at least
a year <g>

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with me. I went into one of my
not-so-local yarn shops - any shop that takes a half-hour drive on the
freeway to get to ain't local - this past week, and I walked out with
only the needles I went in to get. What's wrong with me????

Nothing is wrong with you. You decided not to buy any thing you do not
at present need, thus saving your money for the day when you DO need
some yarn, by which time anything you bought today will probably be out
of style.

Actually, I was kind of pressed for time and didn't have long to look
around. I was keeping my eyes open for some DK weight washable wool for
a sweater for my 7-year-old niece, but they only had one ball of pink
out and didn't have any more in back. If I can't find anything locally
I'll just order online. This isn't an urgent matter, more of a "what a
neat aunt" type of thing :-)

I have been known to walk into a yarn shop, spend about an hour looking
around, then leave without buying a single thing. My impulse purchases
tend to be on the order of enough sock yarn for one pair so I'm not
exactly breaking the bank when I do that.

Sounds like you had a wonderful morning! I wish I had been there.
