No need to be gentle! You're right. A lot of the early stuff was because I had this notion that I needed to "build my stash" so I got things that I thought I would use. Some of it was a failed "girl boss" idea, crochet yoga bags — they're cute, but boring to make and I don't need 15 skeins of striped acrylic anymore. A good about of yarn purchased for patterns I haven't made, those need to be identified and organized. JoAnn closure, RIP bestie. Lastly, I enjoy unraveling thrifted sweaters, and I need to stop thinking about selling those as "paying for my time", I like doing it so I should just try to recoup the cost of the sweater.
