Yarn-aholics Therapy
Sometimes it is good to air your problems.
My name is Jennifer and I am a yarnaholic.
Thankfully my stash doesn't look all that scary in this picture. Okay not quite all of it is here and some of is is hiding behind others but it doesn't seem too bad does it? I'm sure there are many more of you with bigger bundles lurking in your homes.
To the left is 2 baby blankets for family babies, a big pile of squares I'm working on for KAS and my March hats which I haven't posted yet. To the right is a bundle of pieces for a friends wedding present blanket which is cream and light blues. The very front has a bundle of beautiful cotton/silk mix that I bought a year ago to make a throw-over for myself but haven't gotton round to it yet. Front right is one of my hat looms with a hat started on it. 2 of my other sized looms also have the beginnings of hats. I wanted them all to be started for a talk I am doing at the end of the month so that everyone there can have a go at hats, knitting or crochet. No one will escape having at least a little go.
Well I have shown you mine, now you show me yours (if you think you're brave enough)

Reminds me of my mom (well except the beard, lol!). I mean she would often knit mittens and things using this method. I always thought I'd lose stitches for sure, or get dizzy and lose count of the rows. Wonder if he's making a hat? It's too big for a sock that's for sure.

These are crochet flowers I actually wouldn't mind making. Love the colors and at least my cats wouldn't eat them! From Red Heart Yarns on Facebook.

Oh WOW!!!! I bet the person who threaded the yarn through the holes of the mincer had fun.....and I think I've got those two varigated yarns (outside the mincer) in my stash......on second, closer perusal, perhaps something VERY similar.

If ever there was a perfect page for this discussion thread, then this is it! I found this this morning on FaceBook, posted up by Red Heart Yarns but it's too big to port over here. I already do about half these things! If you find one that applies feel free to put it in replies below, so we'll all know your secret shame or cleverness. It's called:
"You might be a Knitting/Crochet Addict If...." Enjoy! Go find yourself, lol.
The article starts with:
You’re in the car riding shotgun and the driver says, “Quick – look at the map! Do we need to take the next exit?”
… and you say: “Just a minute. I’m almost done with the row.”

Here's mine, I did this just last weekend!
Preparing for a trip to another continent (or even another city),
… you pack two projects and a complete set of needles or hooks “just in case.”

My goodness me, back in the day I could never have worn an itchy twitchy knitted bra top...wow! She earned her money that day, that's for sure!
Back in the 1960's, I wore a lovely pair of plaid wool bell bottoms to a city carnival with my friends for a good day out and it rained during the carnival...on and off. It meant people stayed hidden and we got extra long rides on the rides that day, the operators were bored. However, my long lovely bellbottoms were clamdiggers by the end of the day, they shrank up my legs about 2 feet! (My goodness wouldn't sheep look hilarious if their wool coats shrank everytime it rained on them? Oh what a picture!)
