Life of a yarnho: the struggle

The other day while preparing content to load on my social media platforms, I looked down and saw a bag full of yarn. I smiled because, ahh the joy of new yarn is like no other feeling I can describe. It really doesn’t matter if it’s fancy expensive or not, it’s new yarn which makes me happy.

On this day, the practical side of me kicked and “the struggle” began.

I immediately thought to myself, I can’t be alone in the battle so I shared it. Now as you all know I haven’t been working as of late, but I have an assignment coming up; meanwhile funds are tight and I am working hard to work it out. So when I tell you my struggle with yarn is so real. The arguments that I have with my inner yarnho are intense.

Me: omg this yarn screams GG!

Inner yarnho: yup and it’s only $$$

Me: yea but unless it’s free I can’t do that right now

Inner yarnho: you are such a punk!

Me: what!

Inner yarnho: you heard me..YOU ARE A PUNK buy the yarn and then make something and sell it.

Me: yea but I’ll fall in love and want to keep it for myself

Inner yarnho: I know ☺️

See how she do me? Trying to set me up, she ain’t loyal to nobody but her yarn! Lol

I  was shocked at the response to my post. At this point over 12 thousand folks have seen it and for lil ole me that’s huge! So I created some apparel to share the struggle with the world. Click the picture to get your own.

Is the struggle real of you too? Man listen, it has taken all I have NOT to drive over to Purlsoho (famous yarn store in NYC) and sell my soul. UGH have you seen the new what I will call GG yarn? Well I could call it that because the name is Gentle Giant, see I know they wanted to call it GG, but then the royalties and such…but I know. LOL! That super bulky yummy yarn is all for me. The struggle continues….

Knit on my fiber friends…knit on
