....I am a yarnaholic! Sheesh! I am crocheting right now and I can't seem to stop buying yarn! It is all so pretty and soft and lots of colors - like candy only no calories! LOL! Help me!

I know! I'm the same way! I have so many started....

I am making baby afgans for two of my friends....a scarf for my sis-in-law....birthday afgan for my friends daughter....and more!

Isn't there so much pretty stuff out there? Gosh, it used to be just worsted and baby yarn! Too many choices!

I know what you mean, Cheryl. It's great to have such a variety of yarn available. Somebody recently gave me two huge bags of yarn, mostly scraps. I was thrilled until I started going through it. Most of it was soiled and I had to sort it. But I got a few goodies out of it.

You know, they say the first step is admitting you have a problem...

My mom has what I call, a yarn store, in her home. She has yarn stored in 2 spare bedrooms, the dining room and living room. Whenever I get ready to start a project I begin my shopping with her. It's pretty funny. One of my younger sisters lives with my mom and begs me to take yarn.

Ahhh, silly question maybe. But what are soaker pants?

 

[labellady]

I finished the shawl for my sis-in-law and gave it to her today. She loved it! It gives me a high when I finish something. Makes my day.

I'll ask also, what are soaker pants?

I saw the cutest scrap throw on Carol Duvall. It can be knitted or crocheted. I'm crocheting mine - double crochet. You do one row of each color and leave about 2 inches of string hanging on BOTH ends. When it's done it almost looks like a rag rug with fringe on both ends. It's so cute. She suggested using lots of different yarns in different textures. Eyelash yarns looked really cute, with the fringe hanging on the row. She also used sparkly thread, wools, boucle, whatever you have. When you finish a project, use a little yarn to add a row onto your scrap throw. It's like the rag quilts women used to make from pieces of discarded clothing.
