Excited !

I am going to a crochet class ! £10.00 for 2 hours at Hobbycraft, can't wait !

[SoupDragon]

It's a slippery slope...

[SDTGisAChristmassyWolefGenius]

Hobbycraft sell lots of lovely yarns, biff - I bet you don't get out of there empty-handed!!

One of my New Year's resolutions is to teach myself how to crochet more complicated granny squares (so far I can do one - the most basic one), and maybe even to end up with a blanket for myself. This will use up a small fraction of my yarn stash - I think dh would like it if I ended the year with less yarn - ie. I am supposed to use more than I buy.

Dh, bless his innocent, naive heart, thinks this is perfectly possible, SoupDragon. Should I leave the bastard, or stay with him on the basis that he funds all my yarn purchases??!

[SoupDragon]

Store it in the loft. He'll never know...

[biffnbuster]

Haha, lots of lovely things in there and some lovely prices as well !! Last week I wanted some pinking shears (for material) £30.00 .....

Ooh, do all stores do these? How do you find out about them? Just had a quick look on their website but can't find anything.

[tribpot]

chaos, ours does them too but I think it's hard for the local stores to get their stuff on to the website. I'd give yours a ring or have a look for details in store.

SDTG I think you are reasonably safe as long as you state clearly and firmly that you are using more than you buy.

[Molehillmountain]

Yarn and crafting bits and bobs are the only things I can get away with treating myself to illicitly - dh is too good at noticing anything else.

[SDTGisAChristmassyWolefGenius]

I like your thinking, tribpot! Sadly I can't get in and out of the loft, as we have no proper loft ladder, so I can't fool dh that way, SoupDragon. But there are other nooks and crannies where I can conceal yarn from him.

[biffnbuster]

Found the details on the notice board in store, in was right at the back of the store downstairs.

[biffnbuster]

I am on the top of the slippery slope, popped in yesterday and found a leaflet listing the next 3 months classes !
5/6.1.13 crafters weekend ( 1 weekend every month)
9.1.13 knit and natter ( every Wednesday)
11.1.13 coffee and create craft club (1 every month)
all are free but a small donation to charity is appriciated !!

[tribpot]

It's too late to turn back now, biffnbuster

[FlyOverTheMistletoe]

Repeat the mantra - I will use more than I buy (or just find a good hiding place)

[tribpot]

I will clearly state that I am using more than I am buying.
