whether I buy or not, can't NOT touch the yarn!

[Knit Happens]

In my running errands this morning, I routed my travels to include Michael's and A.C. Moore....I didn't buy a thing at either, but I touched lots of yarn~ I was hoping to find some brown Paton's Brilliant on sale, but it wasn't. Even tho I left empty handed, I couldn't help but "squeeze the Charmin." Why are we compelled to touch it? lol

IF you ever figure out how not to touch the yarn let me know the secret. I need all the help I can get. LOL

I mean all I have is the local walmart for temtation, heaven help me if I'm near a michaels store!!!!!!

Teapot:eek

Just repeat these words:

STEP AWAY FROM THE YARN !!!!!!

Say this three times!!!!

[SmoothFox]

I do it looking for a softer touch of the yarn than I am currently using. So I guess I have restraint when it comes to tried and true yarns but something I've never crocheted with before..........watch out....I gotta touch

I just can't resist petting the yarn, just can't keep my hands off it, lol.

[Sugarcoatedlies]

lol when i go buy yarn and my sister comes along, she rubs it on her cheek

There was a lovely LYS near my Mom's house in NJ and when I'd go up to visit her, I just would go in and pet the yarn. Even told the owner I was 'just petting' because down here there was nowhere but Walmart to get yarn. Now the LYS is gone, but I know every Michaels, A C Moore and Joanns in three counties in Central Jersey, and we've finally even gotten a Michaels down here in the Outer Boonies, er Outer Banks.

I love petting. I do it at my LYS all the time. I never rub it to my cheek though, it would get makeup on it!

I touch the yarn too. At HL, some of the yarn bee looks softer than it really is. So you have to touch.

Oh yes I must admit I pet the yarn also.

[Pear-Kitten]

I both pet the yarn and rub it on my cheek. I can't help it !

[Craw]

I'm a petter, she's a petter, he's a petter, we're a petter, wouldn't you like to be a petter too?

[Sylviaf]

I always pet the yarn and I'm just as bad with fabric, so I seldom buy online.

[mellybelly]

You mean there are people that DON'T pet the yarn?!?!

If I could get away with it, I'd put all the skeins on the floor and roll around in it. I wonder how long it would take the men in white coats to show up and haul me outta there if I actually DID that?

[ldyer1]

You have to give it a pet, you don't want it to feel lonely in the store do you!

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who can't resist to touch the yarn.
