Any Yarnaholics?

[Reenie Of the Dead]

Ok, will try again with our own thread. Any more yarnaholics out there? I crochet well, knit like a backward child, and love collecting yarn.

AM torturing myself trying to learn to make socks from books. AM not doing well. Come on, I know there are some more fiber crafters out there. You can fit a lot of yarn in a beetle.

Ah Reenie, you would love my Mom! Back a few years ago, she had a local store in TN called "The Yarn Barn", she sold all things yarn, crochet, knitting. You name it, she had it. I remember on cold winter day, I was in my very first plaster body cast all that winter, I turned sissy! Yes, my sisters taught me how to make potholders! And made them I did!!! What a way to pass a dreary cold snowy day. I am proud that I made them, althogh this is the first time in my life I have ever admitted it!

Thanks, Scott, that makes me feel good. Maybe we could all get together and make beetle cozies.

Nope, not a yarn lover, although I'd love to knit something nice, although I don't know what

Yes, I love yarns. Wannabe spinner/weaver rather than knitter or crocheter. Especially fond of the articles in SPIN-OFF. Also a magazine I think was called WILD FIBERS (FIBRES?)

I have been crocheting for years and love it! My mother-in-law taught me. I make things for my family and to sell too. I have made afghans, pillows, doilies, slippers, baby clothes, tp covers, potholders, just gobs of stuff! I have sooo much yarn I don't think I'll ever use it all! Our community center here has a Christmas Bazaar type thing every year and I go and sell my crochet. It is really a fun place. Everything has to be crafted yourself not store bought. Post some pics of whatever you make. I like to see what others create and maybe get some ideas for projects! Here is just a few pics of what I've made.

I don't want to sound braggy, but I am a fiber artist and sell my pieces in a small shop in Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. I love to knit very strange pieces and then I usually needle felt objects to them too. I'll get you the link to the shop but you can also add me on facebook and look at my artwork photo albums...and orange car is there too. Search for Anne Hydro.
