YARN ADDICTION
“I love to knit and crochet, but the trouble is I cannot do it fast enough to keep up with the amount of yarn I keep buying. My stash hoard has now got so big it's taking over my home and we are reduced to living in one room.
How can I break myself of this addiction.”

Hi Jacky.
This is an unfortunate side effect about knitting and crochet that you learn about after you are hooked.
You will either have to lock up your purse, make several New Year's resolutions, move to a bigger house or learn to knit and crochet faster.
If you manage to find a solution to this problem then please let me know and we can print it on the website to help other yarn addicts..
