...Is not the co-ops, the sales, or the
de-stashing of other artists themselves that is the problem, it's the possibilities that are presented to me in all these fabulous new things, when I have fabulous things to use already. What can I say? I adore, adore, adore making things using unusual print and color combinations. And I find that the newer items I purchase often match a fabric from my stash. Yarn I buy for inspiration, knitting a specific pattern, or to dye myself. These items do not include the dyes I've purchased for the
Dharma Trading Co. clothing blanks and yarn I will be dying shortly. It's astonishing. It is nice, though, that through amazing cooperative purchases, I am able to spend the same amount of money, and generally get twice as much in materials.

superwash in black gradient - but with pink instead of blue. The photo next to it is how the gradient knits up. Mich, the woman who is Belladonna Designs, is genius.
These colors and patterns and materials are gorgeous! Just wait to see what comes of them... not to mention how I become inspired to make my own things!
