Craft shopping addiction

[JollyScaryGiant]

Hello. My name is Jolly. I am addicted to buying yarn. I have no more money or space but still went into a charity shop today and asked if they had any wool. Then spent £4.50 on it. 1kg of yarn I have no use for.

I rregularly go on wool websites and fill my trolley. Sometimes I checkout. Sometimes I don't.

I think about crochet a lot.

I clearly have a problem.

goodjam - we don't say the 'e' word ... we are supporters

I didn't pm... I don't think. I'm pretty sure I just searched for the name and requested to join.

It's called Mumsnet Yarnaholics - and I will happily add you to the group, Antoinette.

Brilliant SuperNappy - you've got the info , I didn't realise you could do it that way around. I am a complete twonk with regard to FB and am only just finding my way about.

I have pm'd and requested. Having a big wibble that I am linking MN with my RL name Too damn lazy to set up a separate MN name for FB though.

You're in, Joanna - now, there's just the small matter of the secret handshake and the uniform requirements.....

I love knitting and making patchwork. I have lots of fabric, books and wool. And I have a craft work room, it is wonderful. I go up there with a cup of tea, switch on the radio and my machine - it is my little piece of paradise...... :)

p.s. please can I join the Yarnaholics?

Chottie - see above. Look up 'Mumsnet Yarnaholics' on FB and request an invite.

Joanna - no need to worry - real names remain the property of Yarn Club. And the first rule of Yarn Club is ... we don't talk about Yarn Club...or RL names

You can Facebook search us and request membership, if that doesn't work, you'll need to PM the person who set it up. STDG.

Looking forward to seeing you on there!

Thanks off to find you now.

Have requested entry. Yey :)

It's a slippery slope. I'm hooked. My doctor the other day noticed DD's crocheted blanket and asked if someone had made it for DD. She was very shocked when I said I had made it myself. The yarn revolution is slowly and quietly taking over younger folk. One day we're all going to be doing it!

When you post to the Facebook group can your friends see it on their feed? Don't want to out my MN name to them.

It is a closed group, so no. Here's the explanation about different types of groups:
m.facebook.com/help/220336891328465

You don't have to use your MN nickname in the Yarnaholics group. Some of us have shared our MN nicknames, but it is not in any way compulsory - so you will out yourself to your friends as a yarn addict, but you don't have to share your nickname.

And it is a secret group - so I think only members can see posts.

Closed, not secret - sorry.

It's a Closed Group rather than a secret one I think.

Lol, cross posting!

Ok, thanks :) don't want to clutter up friends' feeds with yarn-y witterings but it looks like only members can see posts so that's good!

Oooh! Yarn! I think I am a mere amateur after reading this! Can I drool over yarn with you all please, well, only if it's in a protective plastic wrapping
I have requested to join the FB group. Did you know there is a group called "We love Lucy II" in tribute to Lucy of Attic 24?

I feel like the mother ship has called me home!

We welcome anyone with a cup of tea and a woolly lap blanket.

I think I may have request an invite too.

I was browsing crochet patterns at work during lunchtime and was spotted by someone who said it was nice that people were keeping such skills alive. I'm not sure if he was impressed or being sarcastic.

Hi , my names Fizz and I'm a yarn addict too. Love the thread as its made me realise I'm not alone in my love of wool, beads, buttons and really useful boxes. Often find myself hiding my latest projects away when my parents/friends visit as they've started to notice the different piles of wool and commenting .

Will send a request to join on both FB and ravelry if you dont mind another craftaholic!

I've only gone and won more wool on eBay... That's the second lot this week where will I put it all?
