Oh, Dear
You've seen this, right?
Knit only from stash (with some exceptions) for 9 months?
I really don't think I can make that sort of commitment. ("Read my lips -- No New Taxes!")
But there are two probable benefits:
1.) Reclaims storage space.
2.) Builds character.
I don't need more character. ("Not that kind of character, you dork.")
But I could probably use the space.
I did go a little crazy with the yarn purchases in October.
And November.
And December isn't over yet.
"Don't you think you've maybe had a little too much? Here, let me take your keys."
"What is this? An intervention?"
Ummmmm, anyway . . .
I think for me, it would probably end up being nothing more than a huge excuse to buy yarn non-stop for the next two weeks. (At the end of the day, I am way more "Mardi Gras" than "Lent.")
And I am not so good with the resolutions. (Hey, did you know that in 2006, I lost weight? And also exercised? HA!!!!)
But I probably should think about it . . .
Anyone actually, really doing this?

Nope. No clue who that person is.
I don't think I have a big enough stash to do that. I try to buy yarn for projects as I go. Although, if space is an issue, I guess it's an idea.
I'd have a lot of wash clothes and placemats if I did that. The bulk of the yarn in my--admittedly small, I've only been building it for a year--stash is 100% cotton from when my LYS had it's going out of business sale. And some left-overs from other projects; afghan squares maybe. o.o
But I can see how it would be a good, or at least challenging, idea for people who've been building their stashes for years. Sounds like fun actually.
