What do you have the most of hooks, patterns, or yarn?

[mva5493]

I was thinking about this when replying to the "how many hooks" question. I don't know which I have more of but it's between the yarn and the patterns. I think the yarn takes up more space but the patterns weigh more:lol

[pixiedust]

Hands down, I have more patterns than I know what to do with. Every time I see a cute pattern online, I print it out on the off chance I'll ever decide to make it. I have one huge 3-ring binder full of patterns I printed from the Internet and another pile of patterns waiting to go into a binder.

[kambicon]

I am just like you pixiedust. I have 3 binders of patterns that I will get to some day.

[lhasaapsolady]

would have to be yarn even though I have scads of patterns, including 50 crochet books that are from `1930 and earlier, and over 100 hooks.

I got binders of printed patterns as well. I even went to a few different libraries and made colour photo copies of patterns. Thats an easy practically free way of getting patterns, and they have new books too! My bed is a captains bed, and three of the huge drawers are full to the top with patterns. I would have to say patterns I have most of. Though yarn is a close running second.

Patterns! I have several binders with patterns that I copied off the internet plus several booklets that I purchased. To make this worse, I also knit,:knitquilt, do counted cross stitch and other crafts! I'll never have the time to do half of the stuff I have patterns for! It's an obsession!

[darski]

Patterns definitely!!!!

 

I just moved another batch of stuff onto CD and I had 150 afghan patterns - that was only one folder that was moved. The first CD I created had 697 mb of patterns. I'm starting on my third CD's worth of patterns already.

yarn here!

[Shell]

definately patterns. not even counting what I have saved in my web favourites! i buy patterns where-ever I see them.

[crochetformykids]

Definitely patterns!

[salos]

I have a lot of patterns, but there are only a few I really use.

 

Yarn -- two stashes. When they get full I work up yarn or give some away.

 

I wish I had more patterns memorized. Then I could have more variety in my crochet, because when I'm watching a movie I don't want to take time to follow pattern directions.

[Sahmlock]

if I could FIND all my hooks, then I would be able to figure out which I had more of.... I keep buying more hooks for the ones that disappear or that are kept with the wips! So...it's a toss up... not sure really.

[smokeyp81]

Hmmm, It's probably a toss up between the yarn and the patterns. I think the patterns win though. I am like many here that have multiple binders full ot pattern printed from the internet, plus all the books and leaflets that are stored in milk crates. Yarn would be a close second though! The number of hooks doesn't even come close! (maybe 30 or so)

[crstarlette]

Putting patterns in a binder is a good idea. I think I have more yarn than anything else, but hopefully some Christmas crocheting will take care of that.

[Calesmommy]

I have a yarn addiction. So I have yarn.

Although Im catching up with the patterns and the hooks

Well, it definately looks like I am in the right place:lol I think I have more patterns, but the yarn is catching up fast. Glad to know I am not alone in either of my obsessions!

For those who have books or booklets you would like to store in binders, here is an idea in plastic canvas.

You could make an opening whatever size you needed for what you have.

 

It's amazing what you can find on 'the web'

Patterns..

[TX CrochetLover]

I have more patterns than any other supply. I love browsing through them

and deciding what colors would work best. Of course, I still go looking for more! However, like Salos said, I wish

I had more memorized so I could work on afghans for instance while my mind and eyes are engaged on TV.

[Sarah Jane]

I have a large 3 ring binder overflowing with patterns that I have got from the net which I think beats my 2 hooks and 10 rolls of wool somehow.

[marymac]

Patterns...but they are all running neck and neck!

[yarncat]

Yarn.

[unicorn37757]

Have to say yarn cause I have lots of patterns now so I need more yarn to do them:eek

[tlisley]

When I first read this I thought, "Yarn...definately yarn!" but after reading the word "BINDER" I realized if I count all my freebie patterns, the ones on my computer... the purchased and inherited...it's got to be patterns. If I had the yarn for half the patterns I have you couldn't walk through the house!!

And all this time I thought I had only one crochet addiction!!!

[niqita]

I have more yarn then any thing
