A friend once told me that “collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies.”

Well, it seems I enjoy the hobby of collecting yarn more 🤣

I have a hard time crocheting without following patterns exactly as they’re written.

I guess it’s because I am a perfectionist and I have this fear of making mistakes, or not getting stuff right the first time around.

For #TransDayOfVisiblity , I wanted to share some knitting patterns, projects, and yarns in the colors of the trans pride flag that I gathered as an ally. 🧶

Slowly catching up on all the progress I lost when I found out I’d missed a stitch a while back and had to frog a bunch of rows

Once I’m all caught up, I’ll post a picture of the WIP!

Went to take a picture of a WIP and that’s when I realized that I had missed a stitch many rows ago 🥲. Time to frog

I tried crocheting while walking on a treadmill just now and almost fell off a few times. Maybe I set the speed too high and I just need more practice walking in a straight line while also doing something else? It doesn't help that the treadmill is kind of small

Now that I think about it, the majority of my old projects that I stashed away in the closet are still technically WIPs because I never weaved in the ends 😬

I don't have many recent projects to post. Perhaps I should dig out all of my old projects from the closet and post pictures of them on here?

My friend got me this awesome personalized hoodie for holding yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles etc. I’m so excited to use it!

This hoodie was made by Creations By Natalie

Could I get a #knitting pattern sale today? Maybe, perhaps, even two? They're only $7 each and I REALLY need to make more sales. Had to close my comms so this is pretty much all I can sell right now.

Whoops, I forgot about BlueSky! Hoping to use it more frequently from now on.

I started a new project recently! Excited to share some WIP pictures when I’ve made more progress ☺️!

One of my favourite fabric and yarn stores is having their annual 75% off sale on their discontinued/clearance yarn and I am doing everything in my power to resist 😫

I already have way too much yarn, most of which are from the last few times they had a massive sale on their clearance items

Lately I’ve noticed that the stores I shop at no longer carry Red Heart Super Saver yarn.

Today I went to Walmart and saw what I thought was Red Heart Super Saver yarn in the Neon Stripes and Retro Stripes colourways but when I checked the label, it was Mainstays.

I’m excited to post pictures of my crochet projects! I started a bunch within the past few months and they’re pretty much done other than sewing all the pieces together and weaving in the ends. Too bad I keep starting new projects instead 😂

I really need to get started on crocheting some Christmas presents! There’s only 2 weeks or so left but I might still be able to make it
