As I had decided at the end of 2016 to abandon all attempts to curtail my yarn acquisitions I bought a lot of yarn in 2017, more than the previous year. That is about all that can be said. I bought a lot of very nice yarn.
I used up a similar amount of yarn as in previous years, 21.1kg, and that is encouraging. I feel stressed sometimes that the thing I like knitting the most is the standard blankets, and I will always pick the current one up in preference to anything else. That standard blankets use unravelled yarn, and the very nice yarn remain untouched.
For this current year, 2018, I will continue buying but try to concentrate on quality yarn. I will, for the first time, try to consider colours to avoid ones I dislike.
To make my accounts look better, I have decided to exclude knitted garments that I buy in order to wear, even if they will eventually end up unravelled in a blanket. And I am trying not to buy knitted items just for unravelling. There are already plenty in the yarn store.
Here is one of my nicer purchases: sock yarn at a very good price.
