Yea… so I’m changing the diet YET again.
I’m a big fan of the Lime N Violet podcast and I’m always on the message boards over there. Recently they started a Knitwars where you can gain points by knitting, spinning, crocheting, and finishing up your projects. This little game goes through the chorewars site which I think is just really freaking cool. So in the Knitwars thing when you do your knitting/spinning/crocheting thing you collect points. I’m going to start using these points I get as the cash I can spend on my yarn and fiber. For every 3 points I get I can spend 1 dollar; however, if I want a book I can do a 1 point to 1 dollar type rate. That way I can buy books and patterns if I need to, but I can’t buy excessive amounts of fiber.
I like this idea a little better than my fiber budget, because with the budget I just have to wait a month or so to buy something. With this knitwars thing I have to FINISH something and use up what I have before I can buy more. Which to me sounds like a better idea anyways. That way if I’m knitting 10 pairs of socks a month, I could replenish the sock yarn stash.
