Dedashing from Ecuador

I started knitting about two years ago and was pretty good about only buying yarn ahead for one or two projects. Each time I bought yarn I put it in a Ziploc bag and included the pattern that I intended to use it for.

Fast forward a little while, and we made the decision to retire in Ecuador, and suddenly, despite Evidence, to the contrary, I panicked and thought I will never be able to buy yarn again.

As a result, I now have two totes full of yarn that I am bringing to Ecuador with me. You may be interested in knowing that:

  1. They sell yarn in Ecuador, and it’s nice yarn.

  2. The amount of yarn I am taking represents 27% of everything I am bringing with me as I liquidate my estate and move my entire life to another country.

I may have found the sub that will help me use up my yarn before I start buying new. With your encouragement, I will post pictures as I make progress, from Ecuador.

Muchas gracias a todos!
