My crochet addiction has taken a new turn, besides working on my 6th baby blanket since October, I now joined a crochet Yahoo group and an exchange. The exchange is where you have a partner and you crochet them something and send it to them, the do the same for you. Sometimes there is a theme, sometimes its your choice on what you make. I just joined to exchange so I am excited to see how it goes. The addiction continues...
Well I thought the people from my crochet group were crazy when they all said buying yarn is addictive. Ever since I picked crocheting back up, I can't help but to buy yarn at every store I go to that sells it. I pick it up even though I don't need any just b/c it was on sale or just b/c I wanted it to use it to make something out of at a later date. I check the sale ads at Hobby Lobby and Jo Anns to see if yarn is on sale. I never would have imagined yarn buying being an addiction, lol
I started crocheting about 7 years ago. My MIL was working on a granny square afghan and she showed me how to start it. My first project was a baby blanket. I started without having a pattern, I was just going to make a blanket from DC but I couldn't get the sides to even out b/c I wasn't chaining 3 at the end of the rows, so I got frustrated and quit.
Then my interest got sparked again just 2 years ago by my Dh's boss. She made all her employees crochet snowflake ornaments. She offered to help me get started again and taught me how to read patterns. The rest is history!
I had been working on new patterns for snowflake ornaments for my co-workers and I just recently made several baby blankets because both of my SILs are/were pregnant and I wanted to give them something special for the baby.
I just can't seem to get enough! I have been crocheting daily for the last several months. When I get something finished, I look for something else to start. I thought people were crazy for being addicted to buying yarn but I find myself looking at the weekly Hobby Lobby and Jo Ann ads to see if yarn is on sale, lol
