Busted at 15!!

I made it to 15 projects before buying more stash!!! That's 1 year and 6 months without buying things I did not need. Not buying patterns was the easy part, as I was subscribed to 3 magazines before the Challenge started, but the not buying floss or material unless I needed it was hard (especialy the floss). After the first year, I even found myself substituting with floss or material I had on hand, instead of going out and buying it.
Of course, people GIVING me stash during that time made it much easier.

Now what was my kryptonite?

My daughter, has asked me to make her a blanket, like her brother's. As a result, in a trip to my LNS for a gift for someone else, I picked up "Cat Squares" so G-Teen can have a few more patterns to choose from. Had they not had it in stock, I would have shrugged my shoulders and went on. But I caved...

Funny part is, I'm still justifing it in my own head. I bought 1 pattern, but I've gotten rid of 75 patterns I no longer want/need. And there is still a lot left that need to find a new home.

I think I'll apprease myself by restarting the challenge...
