First – Rhinebeck – YAY! I am soooooooo excited!
But! I can’t decide what to do about my yarn budget – I have many, many projects in the queue and the yarn to knit all of them (and then some) in my stash. I also know that I am going to want to buy yarn while I am there. I don’t want to buy random yarn without a project in mind but I just can’t think of any projects that are lacking yarn – what should I do?

Buy yarn in specific amounts. Say, enough worsted weight for a sweater, as it’s a common weight and amount; enough for a shawl in laceweight; enough for socks in fingering, etc. That’s what I did at my first festival and it kept me in line!

I agree with much -adored. I’ll usually make a list of how much yarn I need for specific projects (sweater, socks, etc.) and take the list with me so I don’t just buy at random. Of course if there’s yarn you really, really love and you don’t want to buy a whole bunch, you can always make a scarf! Have fun!! I love your blog!

Thanks for the comments and advice! I am still struggling with what to do and since I can’t make up my mind I am going to bring $150 in cash for yarn and my copy of The Knitter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements and when I fall in love with something I’ll get enough for a scarf or socks or whatever.
