kureyon



hello, my name is krista, and i'm addicted to yarn.

it started out innocently enough. buy a few inexpensive skeins of acrylic Red Heart to practice with here and there...then it progressed to wool yarn, and there were just so many colors...*sigh*. i've got two large baskets full of skeins of yarn in my living room, plus two other decent size metal tubs. it's a disease; a disease, i tell you. i can't stop. and i don't want to. because now i've found this. noro kureyon wool yarn. i've been picking up skeins in yarn stores and putting them back down for months because at nearly $9 a skein, it's hard for me to justify buying just to play with. but i found three skeins for $20 on ebay and snapped them up, and i just started working with them tonight. i LOVE this yarn. it crochets so nicely, and the colors are beautiful (the skeins i have are color 128 on that link, but i love 088 and 147, too). unfortunately, i think the project i'm working on right now (a christmas present for someone) is going to use up all three skeins, putting me back in the original predicament.

i blame april for this.

GOOD FOR YOU!!! as crocheter's we tend to stick to RH and LB and leave the "good stuff" for the knitters (and now I'm one of then too.. YIKES!) but why should we???? we deserve the good stuff too! adn if it makes you feel better, I recnetly bought sari silk yarn for $12/skein and I think nothing of buying a skein of sock yarn for $15.... at least it is a productive addiction!
