My first plea for help
Sheryl and I (well, mainly Sheryl) are working on the financial and marketing portion of our business plan. It would help us out tremendously if y'all could tell us what types of projects/materials you buy during an average month. For example, if you bought the materials to make 2 scarves and a sweater and also a Vogue Knitting within the last 30 days, you would mark a 2 by scarf, a 1 by sweater, and a 1 by magazine. Thank you so much for your help!!

However, I am in no way typical, as I only knit one thing at a time and have NO stash to speak of.... I know, and I call myself a knitter ;(

wow people are spending a lot on yarn monthly! I thought I was bad.. hehe
Scarf (1 a month in November)
Sweater (1 a month in october)
Poncho/Wrap (Never!)
Socks (like enough for 3 or 4 pairs this month because I'm learning in october)
Misc. Projects (enough yarn for 2 pars of fingerless mittens in October)
Patterns (I bought the Magic Loop Booklet this month, I don't buy a ton of patterns)
Books/Magazines (I got stitch N bitch nation in November, I had wanted it for a while, I don't buy more then one book a month for sure, cheap online patterns are a different matter (chicknits, annie modiest etc))
Kits & Gift Items (enough yarn for 2 hats in october for moms to be at work)
oh I buy alteast one set of needles a month, sometimes DPN's, sometimes circs in a new size, I now am in love with Addi Natura's but I only have 2 so I will probably buy more of those in the future. In october I bought 2 sets of the mini clover 8" circs, and in november I got a bunch of DPN's I am now not going to use because I learned Magic Loop!
I'm with Pixie on this, I thought I was being naughty, but apparently, not so much. LOL
My stash is so ridiculous, that I can go for several months without buying any yarn, but I'll give you my last 2 month's purchases, which are also 'learning socks months'- and this is for 2 knitters, not one.
5 Pairs of Socks
1 Sweater
1 Novelty Ribbon Yarn no project
1 Scarf
1 Smaller to be determined project
2 Sets of Circs
1 Set of Learners Needles for DD
