reasons to lift the moratorium

In my knitting world, there has been a moratorium on new yarn purchases. The reasons for buying yarn without a project in mind are beyond my scope of reason, but I do it anyway. Since I have acquired such a large surplus - I took the advice of my sister and stopped buying new yarn...kind of.

There are some very legitimate reasons for adding to your yarn stock during a moratorium:

1. If you find 100% wool in beautiful heathered colors that is 50% off, you may buy it during a moratorium. In fact, any yarn that is on sale can be bought at any time. Do not give a second thought to the moratorium.
   
2. If you have just learned how to knit on double-pointed needles, then you may buy yarn for your very first sock project.
3. I presume that if it is your birthday, you can buy yarn.

Now I am going to stop and go knit. And then later I am going to see a movie.
