Having a place to organize<\/a> your many works in progress (WIPs) and hooks when you’re traveling or even when you’re moving from room to room in your house is really helpful. I’m always toting around my organizer filled with my hook and WIP whether in my house, in a car or on a plane!<\/p>\n

Problem with TOO MUCH YARN?<\/h2>\n

I love yarn. And I buy yarn whether or not I have a project in mind. I’ve gotten better with not accumulating too much MORE yarn but, I have quite the stash. Bonus to that is I get to look at my pretty yarn every day in my office, but, I feel pressure to use it all up and quickly. Why? Well because I want to buy more yarn but, feel I need to make some space first! So, if you’re like me and love yarn but, want to use it up quicker, I recommend you get into Knitting Machines. The learning curve is pretty quick and you get to make fun, handmade projects while still playing with yarn. I have a longer review<\/a> of the different types of knitting machines there are out there to help you decide which works best for you. But, up front, my top two recommendations are the Addi 46 pin<\/a> for a larger machines and then the Addi 22 pin<\/a> for a smaller machine. You can find the full review and comparison of the different knitting machines like the Sentro 40 pin, Sentro 48 pin and others here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Best Yarn for Knitting Machines<\/h2>\n

If you’ve decided to start using up your yarn stash on your knitting machines (because…well, it uses up the pretty yarn faster than crochet…) then you’ll notice certain yarns work better with the knitting machines. Now, I have 5 different knitting\u00a0 machines and by far and large, the Addi 22 pin is the most forgiving when it comes to accepting and working with all varieties of #4 worsted weight yarn.\u00a0 The Addi 46 is the 2nd most forgiving.\u00a0 Forget about that on the Sentro or Michael’s Loops and Threads Quick Knit knitting machines though! If you have the Sentro 40, Sentro 48 or the loops and threads knitting machine, I recommend these two brands of yarn as the best to work with those more picky machines. I love this yarn<\/a> can also be found in Hobby Lobby. Great news is, they come in a variety of colors and can often be found in your local hobby stores.<\/p>\n

I Love This Yarn<\/a><\/h4>\n

This yarn comes in many color options and can be bought right off Amazon or at your local Hobby Lobby.<\/p>\n

Caron Simply Soft<\/a><\/h4>\n

Quality Yarn on a Budget<\/h2>\n

The best thing about being a crocheter is that I have a “good” reason to buy more and more yarn! I love my yarn and I certainly have WAY more than I need. Yarn is fun to shop for and come in a variety of colors, thickness and length. These two I recommend below come in an awesome array of colors! They are both worsted weight or #4 medium weight yarn so I’d recommend a 5mm crochet hook.\u00a0 The lion brand 24\/7 cotton yarn is tough enough for a purse or dishcloth but, soft enough to make a shirt or sweater with. The Lion Brand mandala comes in beautiful colors that are great for a variety of crochet projects to include shawls, cowls, and scarves.<\/p>\n

Cotton Yarn<\/a><\/h4>\n
