I go to buy yarn with a special project in mind and walk out with much more then I planned. I am a project buyer who turns into a stash buyer.

I now have a room dedicated to my passion/obsession! There's just something about all those colors and textures in the room with me - it makes me HAPPY! I too am a stash buyer.

In truth, it's both. I will add to my stash if I find a sale or wonderful yarn that speaks to me, but my eyes are bigger than my time will allow, so I have quite a stash. I also buy for projects, but that doesn't mean I make everything I originally thought I'd make. Sometimes that's because I don't have time, or something else catches my fancy or needs. I really need to work down my stash. I have 3 projects underway right now, one is detailed and requires close attention, one is what I call a TV project in that it's kinda mindless and can be done while watching The Mentalist, and then there is a class or CAL project. I'm reducing my stash with two of these, but bought new yarn for my mindless project, an afghan. Oh dear, what a question.

The ideas come faster than I can get them all done. I also buy stash yarn if its at a great price. It will get used for smaller or spur of the moment projects like Christmas ornaments, baby things, short notice gifts, cat toys...or something from my huge pattern stash. Now I just need a stash of closets to store it all. I am mostly a project buyer, but I have a large stash of projects waiting their turn. The ideas come faster than I can get them all done.

My stash is the leftovers from my projects - I always overbuy. Every once in a great while I buy some yarn just because I love it, but the problem with that is invariably when I figure out what I want to do with it I don't have enough.

Sometimes I reward myself for completing dreaded errands by stopping at my local craft store 'just to look'. Of course, then I get sucked into the vortex of colors and textures and my husband and kids start calling me, wondering if I got lost, or if I'm 'looking at yarn'!

I am both. I go to the store with a project in mind and end up with enough yarn for 3 more projects than I intended. I think what inspires me most is not the project or the yarn by itself, but the possibility that lies within the yarn. Sometimes that motivates me to pick up yarn for a pattern and sometimes that motivates me to pick up a pattern for some yarn. I agree with most of those here… I am both.
