Is there such a thing as too much crochet?
April 18th, 2008
Hi, my name is Tracie, and I’m a crochet-a-holic. I just recently noticed that I have a crochet problem, er…addiction…er…obsession…er, um…well, okay, I have a lot of crochet on my hands. Literally.
Let me explain.
- For starters, when there’s an occasion that needs a gift, I automatically think yarn & hook. Mother’s Day gifts are covered–or at least started–but I have a few birthdays coming up to gift for and an expecting friend to make things for. Not to mention all of the charity crochet I’d like to do but haven’t yet.
- There was a need for a crochet guild in my area, so I’m starting one.
- I’m taking a course to be a professional instructor. With that comes volunteer teaching, which I’m working on a schedule for. I’m also making plans for classes after I’m certified.
- I have a rolling yarn case to take to events and teaching sessions.
- My bookshelf overfloweths with crochet books and magazines.
- I want to learn to sew better, but I’m too happily swamped in crochet to put forth the effort.
- I have a craft fair to craft for, and of course, I’m thinking of crochet projects that would sell.
- In my stash, I have yarn that was bought for specific projects that are still waiting to be started.
- Most days, I would gladly give up cooking suppers for the family to crochet.
- I haven’t baked cookies yet this year!
- Then today, I called a local retirement center to see if there was a need for crochet instruction in their events. Yep. There was. So I’m going to commit myself to two hours a week teaching and chatting about crochet with them. (Another post to come about how that unfolded.)
So I ask again: Is there such a thing as too much crochet?
I think not.

LOL you have a problem girl. Then again, I hope to suffer from the same problem once I get more of the kiddos in school full time!!!
I totally have yarn for things that I want to do, but still haven’t even started. And then I think I should do a KAL just for fun.
The retirement thing sounds really interesting and I TOTALLY want to hear the story on that one. That sounds like something I would love to do…down the road.
But you HAVE to make time to bake cookies, cookies are a major food group!
