Buy Less

One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to become less of a consumer.

Less is More

One of the ways that I am going to do this is to buy less yarn. When I do buy yarn, I am going to make sure that I use it, and also use the same amount, or more, of the yarn I already have. Here is the first project I made this year from yarn that I already had. It is a 36-inch square crocheted baby afghan.

I used Free SmoothFox's Lemony Lime Citrus Square 12x12 pattern by Donna Mason-Svara.

Reduce - use what I have so that I have less

ReUse - we already do this (with water bottles and stuff)

Recycle/Upcycle - we do this a little too, but am going to make an effort to do more upcycling
