My name is Kate and I am a yarnaholic...

[Sockmad]

Even though I have plenty of yarn in my stash I could not resist buying more today. I bought one skein of Modea ticker tape in the sunset color(I did have a coupon for 40 percent off!) I am using that to put my tulip bag together. I am making the tulip bag from Hooked Bags. I got a really good deal on ticker tape in Ithaca NY when I was there. Each skein was only 97 cents. The color reminds me of earthworms but it works up really nice and it is very soft. I wanted a contrast for the joining so that is why I bought the sunset. Then I went to Michael's and bought some of the new Paton SWS colors two skeins of natural crimson and one each of natural indigo and natural raisin which is actually a purple. Since when are raisins purple? I also bought some fimo and a pasta machine to soften it with. I am going to make fatter handles for my metal hooks with the fimo. I have found that the fatter the hook the longer I can crochet. I have fybromyalgia(sp) can't spell it but I can finally pronounce it! I still have three skeins of wool that I bought at The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival in May and no idea what they will finally turn out to be! So any other yarnaholics out there?

from Arizona! You've come to the right place if you want help with your yarn addiction, but only if you want help making it worse! You'll find plenty of encouragement here!

Hello and welcome! This is definitely not the place to cure yarn addiction. Here we accept it as completely normal. In fact we encourage it!

[wiz3283]

Welcome from another Arizonan. If your looking for a cure you have definately come to the wrong place! In fact if you dont have ayarn addiction you will after being on this site. Oh and a hook, pattern, and design addiction too. LOL

[boksie]

Believe these folks when they say that your addiction will get worse here! Today I just got a big box of yarn I bought at an online auction. Had to hurry up and hide it before hubby got home. You know you have a problem when you have to hide the yarn before anyone sees it! LOL!

Fellow yarn junkie here, too.

[shelly_bean]

[Yarn Duck]

Hi! I'm also a confirmed yarn junkie and I've morphed into a pattern-aholic over the years.

Hi Kate and Welcome....a yarnacholic, geeze why do you think we all gather here...lol!

[Redheart]

I went to a new LYS and bought 4 skeins of wool that I SO didn't need. I'm referring to them as souvenirs. As mementos of my day out with friends, they don't count as yarn stash, right?

[Jsilvers]

I don't work with yarn; thread is my material of choice and I have a long favorites list of thread suppliers.

 

The best way to deal with materials acquisition syndrome is to find more sources for the materials.

Here's a wave from a Yarnaholic in Gettysburg, PA! I also went to the MD Sheep & Wool Festival but only bought 2 skeins of yarn and have wished ever since that I had bought more... I have three baskets of sale yarn, 1 basket of expensive yarn and have more yarn coming that I got great deals on that I bought on Ebay. Fortunately for me, hubby and son are happy that I am happy and don't say anything about my new addiction!
