Oh, I can live with this!! I truly do love yarn! And I will gladly celebrate I LOVE YARN DAY today, October 9th. It is not a fixed date, but rather a fixed day every year being celebrated on the second Saturday of October. I just buy yarn, because I love the color or texture or just because or like we would say in Afrikaans: vir sommer net (just because)!
I normally do not need a reason to buy yarn, but I always have to hide it in my car’s trunk until I can take it into the house without any explanations. My son loves telling me I can open my own yarn shop with all the yarn I have. He should not be with me when I walk past a yarn shop as he pulls me away saying I don’t need any as I have more than I will be able to use in a lifetime.
I love to crochet and have completed quite a few blankets the last few years. I made one for my son in charcoal, silver grey, white and a dash of red with the normal granny square pattern and it took me 5 years to complete. I get bored quickly and have various projects going on at the same time … thus taking years to finish!
