Inspiration Mondays: YARN PORN

You know what Mondays are - the day most people have to return to the rat race - so I decided to brighten up the drudge with a new blog series on what inspires me. Every Monday I'll let you into my funny little world and show you why I am a hooker. ;)
I wanted to kick things off with what started it all. But the question is, the yarn or the hook? I say the yarn. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I get all tingly when I walk into a good yarn store and see the rows of color. The brighter, the better as far as I'm concerned. When I look at a skein I try to picture what I could turn it in to and I usually get some of my better ideas and designs when I start with the yarn. In fact, I love yarn so much that I dream of starting my own yarn store where I can sell all the wool, acrylic, silk, and alpaca that inspires me.
So here it is, for your viewing pleasure - some of my favorite yarn porn.

  1. I feel the SAME way! I love yarn, the colors and textures, the possibilities and completed projects. Sometimes it's hard to even sell because I feel like I'm letting a part of me go. But alas, I have bills to pay and more importantly, things I "yearn" to make...which require yet, more yarn, which I need $$ for that!
