Anybody here knit…..collect hand dyed yarn?

Gilly knitter

I’ve searched on here and found some knitters ( crocheters) from a few years back but wonder if I’m alone here in my rather obsession of yarn?

  • Oh wow, wow, WOW! 

    Well I’ve found my niche on here.  
    Oh, Dawn, I have a room for it all too…..but it’s overwhelming me at the moment. 
    I’m supposed to be ‘streamlining’ the room as there’s too much in it but I don’t know where to start. Aggggggg! 
    I’ve also so many half completed projects…..but then when I get stressed I start a new one. 
    Half finished socks, shawls, cardigans, jumpers and blankets, BLANKETS? 

    I would knit and crochet all day long if I could…..well actually, sometimes I do!

    How does one streamline yarn? It's fundamentally non-aerodynamic! Haha.

    I cannot advise on this. When husband suggests I get rid of books I say how can one build a library by getting rid of books? The same holds for yarn! My only suggestion is that if you try to organise it by size and colour then you might find it fits more easily into the space and you don't need to get rid of any.

    I have considered that a duvet cover would hold quite a lot of yarn and it would be quite handy if you suddenly get the urge to knit or crochet in bed! Just don't leave the needles in there and go to sleep...

    I think I have more UFOs (UnFinished Objects) than finished items. I am bad at finishing things. But I do have a decent collection of hats. So many that I no longer feel the need to make hats, which is a shame as hats are a nice easy project.
