I love sock yarn! I’m sewing at the moment! I have some fabric I wove in lockdown, I’m hoping to make into a dress! I fell in love with a merchant and mills pattern. I’ve just made the bodice in calico to see how it fits but I’ve bought some blue linen today to go ahead with the dress! I need to wash it first!

I have also amassed a ridiculous amount of single skeins of beautiful sock yarn. Sometimes I have as many as three skeins of the same colourway, but rarely. It's really true that buying yarn and using it are actually two different hobbies. |

I totally agree with you Raetomic Kitten. About 8 years ago, I bought a lot of yarn and still haven't got around to knitting it yet!!

So true! See also: fabric...I still have a huge stash from Covid days when I was selling face masks and branched out into bags. I have got rid of some of it, but plenty remains.

I had to get rid of quite a bit of my yarn stash to make room for a piano in my craft room! I’ve also sold one of my looms but it’s still a bit crowded in their and I think I still have more yarn than I can use in my lifetime so I may go and clear some more 🤣

I’ve just finished a top I started in 2017! It was intended as a beach/bikini coverup but it got put to one side. I dug it out earlier this year, did a bit, then put it aside again! Finally finished in time for my honeymoon. Though not after re-doing the border on one half several times, once because I read the pattern wrong, once because I then ripped out the wrong one, and once because I then realised I’d put it on the top instead of the bottom! Still not convinced I’ve put right sides out but it’s staying now! Photos to follow when it’s dry |

Both lovely, Meglet. I have a beach cover up I started making on holiday in 2017 which I should pick up again!

I need to restart cross-stitching. Stopped a while ago (too many jigsaws to do and books to read) - gave some away, but still have a few kits under my bed Tried to make cards with little completed kits, but they're under my bed as well - doubt anyone would buy them as they're rubbish (my attempt at making cards, not the completed cross stitching ha ha) |
