How Many Have Done This?

[JennyLoLo1]

Brought crochet books and never crochet any thing from it? But ever so often look through your books and say " I'm going to do this pattern" but once again never do it. Until the next time the same thing. lol

[Priszm]

Does it count if I've at least started something?

[stitchgirl]

I haven't done that with crochet books, I don't have any books, I have some pamphlets with patterns. But I do that with magazines. I'll see something in Crochet or whatever and tell myself I definitely want to try that and then I always forget about it. I guess I should just start it , but I can't stand to have more than about 3 projects going at once. I know, to most people that's probably strange, but I can't help it.

[Tiga]

I do; I just consider it that I not only crochet, I collect crochet pattern books.

[eurolyons]

Actually I think it goes with the terrority...there are so many things I want to make in many of the books I have...I have made lots of things, but I think I'll have to live to be 300 years old to make all the patterns I have. However, what I tend to really use my books for is inspiration...

[LaurieE]

I do that. Mainly because books and booklets go out of print. I'm also "collecting" crochet books because I don't know what my DD might be interested in making.

[Sylviaf]

I do it with both crochet and quilting books.

[DreamsOfYarn]

I do that. I'm glad to know I am not the only one!!

No it doesn't court.

[champygirl]

I do that:yes and I do that with cooking magazines too.

[Debbi-a1]

I do that:yes and I do that with cooking magazines too.

My friend does that with recipes. She "collects" them.

And I "collect" crochet patterns.

Actually I kind of do collect them. I have some that I just won't even do. And some from entire magazines, but they are cute and well... maybe I would. Since the Grove Along started I went back through a 1970s magazine I found and thought, hmmm very groovy... well maybe not.

 

So the answer is YES. I do have them, think I'll do them, and they sit there until I see them again and say, Yes I'm going to do that. And sometimes I do.

[The_Virginia_Hooker]

Yep, that's me.

[Knit Happens]

Always...love love love patterns!

[grrlsmom]

Ooooh - you're supposed to MAKE stuff from the books? Now ya tell me!

 

Seriously, I usually make one thing from a book and just dream about the others.

[tigermom]

One of my New Year resolutions was to not buy any more books or patterns until I made something out of the books I already have. I've done well. It's still Jan and I've made three things out of different books. I didn't tell myself how many I had to make before I could buy again. Do you think 3 is enought?????

[lilmari]

uh huh! i always do that lol

i like to look at the pictures and steal the stitches for other projects, or read the pattern and then go "well.. i'll make it when i get some good yarn"

[SassyCMA06]

:whewThanks heavens, I'm not the only one that does this! lol. Thankfully though, I print most of the stuff off the internet, so it doesn't cost much. I just have to add a 3 ring binder every once in a while for the expanding collection.

[CrochetLiving]

Sometimes I just buy a crochet to have it. I like crochet books!

[tracyleigh]

I am so guilty of this. I do it all the time. I'm worse with Crochet magazines tho.

[boksie]

All the time! If I see books on sale then I jump at the chance to buy them and then they become coffee table books! Glad I'm not the only one.

It depends on how many books or booklets you have.

 

I'm going to try to do one project out of all the books or booklets that I have.
