Although I cannot join.....I am NOT ready to agree to those first few things listed. I admit it could be...maybe...might be...a slight problem...but that is as far as I am willing to go.

Sounds very familiar:P ,

Very well said .

Why would anyone want to stop?

[diamond]

WELL I surely don't need that!!! I don't have a problem with my yarn! I love it and it loves me! I need my yarn and it needs me! Isn't that a bit of an oxymoran anyhows? How can a person have a yarn addiction? That is totally insane!!!!!

 

Darn....I don't have any orange/red/purple varigated....I don't need it but I just might one day in the near/far future. I really need to stock up on it and fast. I'll never know when an idea hits me when I'll need orange/red/purple variegated thread, mohair, chenille, acryllic, cotton, wool....blends.....EEEWWW HEMP! Yeah, that's it, I need it in HEMP....hmmm...gotta go...gotta see where I can get some online..

 

 

Nope, no addiction for me.

I really can't figure that out either....it is so much fun;) and I love my yarn....I would go through withdrawls....seriously.

Well that's because there is no such thing as a yarn addiction!!! DUH! The 4 that joined probably joined because they don't know about Crochetville and had no other place to hang out!!!

[CatsCradleCreations]

Okay; I'll admit I'm addicted to yarn, but I wouldn't say that it's a "problem." Like so many of you, I NEED my yarn! I need to have yarn around me, even if I don't use it.

 

Last night, my hubby asked me to clean up a corner of the living room because my yarn had grown over it again. He also put up some new shelving for me to store it in because I've outgrown my other storage options!

[Kimberly]

I am only up to four totes of yarn, one of them only half filled....don't think that I totally 100% qualify as addicted yet....although, I am getting up Saturday at 4:30 in the morning to to Germany to go yarn 'ing in Hamburg with Anna.....might that qualify me as addicted?? Just in case I am not, I really should wait and hold off joining this ring ummmmm indefinently!

[sprtsbear]

How can anyone be addicted to yarn. It is so soft, and warm. Maybe we should start something for those who want to have a yarn love fest. Oh, the blues and greens, the bulkies and the fingering, the worsted and the wools. I love them all. We should spread this kind of love to everyone. (Maybe not, because if we do there won't be enough left for us to buy)

[deneen]

Oh please, that is one ring you will NEVER see me signed up with. Addiction? I think not. Love-yes, obsession-perhaps. I was in Stashbusters for 17 days (okay for 7 I was on vacation) and it killed me. The yarn buying gives me instant gratification. Besides, Diamond is right, you never know when you may need purple/orange variagated yarn. I'll tell you one thing, as soon as you get rid of it, you'll find a need for it. It's now my one vice and darn it, I'm not giving it up!

[celestialkiddy]

I just realized that I am a yarnaholic. Show me yarn and make me happy. A friend of mine just nicknamed me Gimpy McYarnie. I recently sprained my ankle, which of course gives me a good exucse to pity myself and buy some new yarn and make some more stuff

 

There alot of crocheters/knitters at work and someone brang in all their leftover

skeins and scraps and I didn't care what was in the two big boxes, I just grabbed them and took them directly to my car.

Our motto should be "Yarnoholics Unite!!!"

or

"Yarn Lover and Proud Of It!"

[CatsCradleCreations]

Who wants a button with "Proud Yarn Addict" on it? I'd be happy to make one!!!

 

and BTW, the Mexicana (which is that orange, red, black, purple, green veri yarn) comes in handy for pet snuggies and catnip toys! I know...that's what I use for my kitty toys~~especially for mouse-type so they don't look like the real thing! I have an entire skein and part of one!!

Yayyy! Spread the word!

 

I think the Yarnaholics thing will be about as successful as stashbuster's month. I really should take the button off my blog. I haven't bought any yarn this month, but I've been given so many sweaters, and frogged most of them, that the stash has grown instead of shrunk.

ME ME ME!! I am proud t be an addict ( ) can you tell by my name?!

that would be awesome!!

[CrazeeMoi]

NOOOOOOOOO I am NOT addicted!! Obsessed maybe tho lol I will be moving from Michigan to Texas by June 27. And taking ALL my 10 totes of yarn!! Seriously tho..... I did get fantastic deals on a lot of it (friend/customer from where I worked sold me yarn at a fantastic low price). Another customer was moving so he brought me his wifes yarn ( oh man, we are talking really nice yarn too). I find yarn at yard sales etc. Just bought 6 - 8oz skeins of yarn for 50 cents each. Maybe I should have a button that says.... Obsessed With Yarn!! lol and maybe I should change my name to CrazeeCrocheter?? lol

[CatsCradleCreations]

Okay, here it is!! Take it whoever wants it!

 

BTW, the background is *part* of my own stash!

Woo hoo! We got a yarn addict button! What a great way to start the day!! Hmmm....should we start a web ring for yarn addicts?? Like a yarn addicts support group.....you never know when you might be looking for a certain color and think..."Hey! I saw that color in Diamond's statsh....wonder if she would trade me that for 4 skeins of orange/red/purple variegated that I heard she was looking for!"

I gave in - a ring is a great idea - I'll have it up and running by the end of the day - can I use your button as the ring button?? I'll put a made by disclaimer on the main page.... :-)

Sure, go ahead and use the button! I want in on the ring!!

[creativegoodness]

Yay!!! I snagged the button:cheer .Thank you!!

 

Can't wait to see the ring:) !!

[Broncrochets]

Oh, Yeah! :cheer I snagged the button too - what a great idea!

 

No way could I ever quit buying yarn cold turkey. It's hard enough for me to link it to my dieting! I'm not tempted to cheat with food but I'm tempted every day with yarn.

To seperate the themes I will start a new thread with the Yarn Addicts Unite web ring for those of us who are the opposite of a Yarnaholics Unanonymous participant!
