I'm on this diet but I visited a guild member's shop for the first time today and bought some sulky petite spools of thread, a beautiful spool of sparkly ribbon floss, needles to use with the floss and a pattern. All of this will be put to good use while I use up more fabric. So I am still shopping locally but just not buying fabric willy-nilly. I'm being more thoughtful and realistic about my purchasing. I am with yarn as well. I certainly have enough for several projects. I bet if we made a map of all of us following this thread, we wouldn't be located in the same area to make a huge impact on LQS.
