Need to rob a bank!

No seriously though how expensive is yarn? I was looking in my Ravelry library today & am astounded at just how much money I would need to find from god knows where to make everything I have in there. I am currently broke. broke, broke so am knitting shawls with yarn from my stash & am most diassapointed in the way it is decreasing.  I think when I get back on my feet financially I am going to try dying my own, not to sell but just for me. I also think it will have therapeutic values alongside my knitting to help my Bi-Polar. It's like the writing I do in here, I refuse to call this a Blog as then I would be expecting people to read it, I don't I just like to empty my head of thoughts and ideas & this way is much cheaper than using paper :). I have also been given an old sewing machine that I need to spend a couple of days cleaning up as it has lain unloved for a few years.  My intention is to make myself 2 dresses for 2 wedding's I have a day apart later this year as cheap as possible without them looking it. I have knitted a lovely cardigan that will go with both and I have shoes a'plenty so it's all looking rather positive (in my head). I am also making the gifts for both weddings too so even more money saved & I think more personnel. So that's  what's been going on in my life & in my head for last coupla days :D
