I Love Yarn Day 2014

One of my very favorite days!!

I sometimes say this, exactly this!

I have so much more now, this is only a hint of the amount of yarn I actually have!

 

I read a blog recently where the person had recently started knitting again after trying briefly while she was a teenager.  Yarn did what it usually does, wrapped itself around her and is never going to let her go.  She went to a yard sale advertised as being the estate of a crafter.  Remember **S.A.B.L.E.?  Well, the estate belonged to a successful yarn-aholic, because the lady had passed on but her yarn stash had outlived her!  We should all be so lucky...

**Stash Amassed Beyond Life Expectancy

It's the only way to be.

September is National Sewing Month

Sewing is not "my thing" but it is Otter's and Froggy's.

Mom was also a seamstress, although I don't think it was her favorite thing to do.  Her sister, our Aunt who lived with us and we considered our 2nd mother, was a seamstress and a professional one. 

 

I do some sewing, but not very much.  Froggy quilts and so does her daughter, KN#3.  Otter loves to sew, but she doesn't have a lot of time for it.  Bill even does some sewing.

 

Get busy!

International KIP or CIP Day

Week, actually.

 

KIP:  Knit in Public.

 

CIP:  Crochet in Public.

 

June 14 - 22, 2014.

 

I will participate in this one as much as I can.  But then I kind of celebrate this one 365 days a year!

March is International Crochet Month and International Craft Month!

 I usually do carry yarn.

The next one is for Otter:

The next one is me 100%!

(Yes, I will crochet in a park, the dark, on a plane, etc.  I haven't found a place yet where it would be inappropriate.)

That describes Otter 100%

(That one is me all the way.  Probably nobody is surprised!)

So, get busy crafting!

That one could be re-worked a bit, to include quilting.  Right, Froggy?

So, crochet IS special.

The next one is also me.

Intervention not needed!  Also, that could be reworded to crafting or sewing, just change a couple of words.
