I just read about the idea on Ravelry. You set a goal for yourself, and every time you get a step further to that goal, you reward yourself with some yarn. I think that's an awesome idea! I've got so many projects I want to start up, but I already have so much yarn. In the mean time I can bust what I have. Right now I'm trying to lose weight, so maybe at each milestone (10 lbs lost?) I can reward myself with enough yarn for a big project!
I started at 170 lbs....ugh. I am currently hovering around 166 lbs since starting the "Biggest Loser" contest at my work. When I reach 160 lbs. I can invest in a swift & winder system, be that an actual swift & winder or a K'Nex/TinkerToys set. At 150 lbs., I'll go all out and indulge myself in some nice yarn for a sweater. I don't know if I can bring myself to spend over $100 on one sweater, but it will be tempting. Oh, what the hell. What kind of reward would it be if I limit myself?? Some Tilli Tomas for the Silken Cowl Tank, or the Hourglass Jacket would be absolutely gorgeous. Since I've got so much stuff, I could make it also an alternative goal to sell it. Once I sell $100's worth, I'll let myself spend money on yarn for a sweater.
