Crochet, knitt and yarn buying

By Katy -

  How many of you that knitt or crochet or do both, didn't buy yarn just because the color was amazing, or there where on sale at the yarnstore, or for some projects you never started or finished?   Why I ask is because I do it too.😆   So what we can do with all that stash? What can we do when we "hamster buy" yarn?        One thing that helped me to slow down this "hamster buy" is when I see the yarn I start writing down the projects that come in my mind. I start focusing on new projects so I forget about the online sale and get a yarn that I have in my near and start making that project, to see if it comes out woow or will I frog it. 😆👌     Another thing that helped me stop buying unnecessary yarn, cause the sales keep coming, is to stop boxing the yarn.      If you have all your yarn in boxes you won't be able to see what you have, so in many cases you will buy because you don't know what you have.   ...

     Let's start with the stereotype that stops many of you from crocheting, that is :" OH only old ladies are crocheting " or " Crocheting is just for grannies ".    The answer to all this negative thinking is to start trying, so we arrive to our first reason  1. Relaxing      If you don't try something out, you won't know if you love it or not.    Thinking back to your childhood you remember that your 70 years old grandma or a 70-80 years old ladies were always busy with their yarn,their hooks or their knitting needles.     Let's start here , this is the first reason and the most important reason, that is: crocheting is relaxing.       Now that we nailed the dot on the i, we arrived to the second reason, that is: 2.
