So, I know I'm definitely obsessed with yarn and yarn-based crafts. I've always loved *all the crafts,* but I particularly love yarn. ![Relaxed :relaxed: :relaxed:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I knit and crochet, currently learning to knit my first pair of socks using two circular needles (the craft store didn't have Size 1 needles with a long enough cable for learning Magic Loop, and it was definitely an "immediate satisfaction" situation, ha ha). I do ridiculous amounts of research whenever I consider a new brand/type of yarn, I'm engrossed in the idea of dying my own yarn now, and my mother-in-law just made my year telling me one of her coworkers has *bags* of fleece she's *giving away.* Like, I'll get to card, spin, and dye my own yarn! That's way too cool!
Anyone else have similar interests? Do you have a group you meet with in meat-space to do crafts?
(Bonus points if you've managed to monetize your love of yarn - I had a bit of a marathon crocheting dice bags recently and I plan on posting the extras to Etsy, but it would be lovely seeing where others are finding some level of success. I'm also curious about meeting up with folks in-person to craft, though having an online group would be really cool, too!)
