We had a lys who looked down on crochet. The owner had the nerve to tell me the yarn I chose was too good to waste on a crochet item and I should learn to knit. I informed her I had knit longer than she had been alive, left the yarn on the counter, and left the store. Not surprisingly it has since closed. I travel to other areas and visit their lys when I can. There are great ones out there, don't let a bad apple sour you on shopping local. I expanded my definition of local to 200 miles away 😊
This would make a great checklist to use going forward...'think before you buy', so you don't overload your stash or break the bank. I like - craft with what you like!
Totally agree with you Miss Nicki. I have no shame in my crochet game. Crochet is my hobby and I love it. I use it all, acrylic, blend, natural. Just depends on who I'm making it for and how it feels next to my skin. Love the Q&A's. Keep it coming. Princeton I also loved the yarn mysteries. Very interesting concept . . . enjoyed listening.
Hi 👋 I usually buy yarn when it’s on sale but I’m going to stop doing that till I actually need yarn again because my stash is too big and that is wasteful I think if it just sits there not being used. It stresses me out so I’m going to give myself a break. 😅
Miss Nicki’s! It’s so good to see the band together again!

Nikki is a smart one!

It's nice to hear you don't let yarn shame get you down.

It can be so hard to resist a sale, but sometimes taking a break is best!
