All about the yarn!

Greetings to all.
I am very proud to present this tale to you for your enjoyment. This lady has actually got me wanting to work with yarn, imagine that!

Hello world first of all let me start by saying I'm live here in Tucson Arizona and I think it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I don’t understand how can anyone say that it is dull and boring, there are many things to do here a lot of them are free and some of them you do have to pay for but I can do anything I want, all of the things I love to do. I relocated here from Kansas City fifteen years ago and let me tell you this is like heaven to me.
I love the feel of wool, cotton, and acrylic yarn. I take my old jeans my old tee shirts and recycle them into rugs, blankets, sweaters, hats, and scarfs. Can you tell I’m a crafter? I spend a lot of time at the public Library and last year I was in the main library downtown and I saw a flyer for a group called Urban Yarns; it's a wonderful group of ladies unfortunately so far no men have joined. I invite every man; woman, boy and girl that I meet who shows an interest in my crocheting and knitting, and I know that the ladies have to but alas still no men have joined our group. We are currently involved in the end of a project for the new Diamond Children’s Center a medical facility that will be a part of the U of A. We are making blankets for them and I jumped in with both feet and hands. I have made about a dozen blankets since last August, and I love it. I'm a grandmother and make all kinds of gifts for all of my grandchildren it's relaxing, therapeutic and its fun. Since I joined this group I have been made aware of all sorts of projects one can participate in for charity. My suggestion is that if you don't have a hobby, get one. If you are not sure which one will work for you try working with the yarn? Yarn work is a very inexpensive hobby but if it is not to your liking, try gardening, pottery, embroidery, face painting, photography, or even dancing. All are great things that you can do to pass the time, to fill the time, to make something beautiful for yourself and for others to donate its wonderful!
I go from one craft fair to another sometimes I display my things sometimes I think my stuff isn't good enough even though my family tells me I should be selling what I make and occasionally I get offers to make things for others and they are willing to pay me, but I don't take myself too seriously. My yarn work goes everywhere I go. I check out yard sales and I go to the plea market or the swap meets, looking for yarn or something that I can use to make something beautiful for someone. I heard about some group that makes Lap blankets for the Veterans and disabled, blankets and things for the homeless caps for the homeless children and next year plan to have a lot more projects that I'll be working on. I think that I’ll make some things for the children in the shelters around town I learned a little bit about the origami and would like to start making some of the smaller little animals and toys and creatures. I will of coarse have to test run them on my own grandchildren, to get a good feel for them before I make some for the homeless children. I have started stockpiling the thread already in anticipation. My plan for this year is to donate most of what I make to various organizations. My feeling is that if you have a hobby that allows you to create something there's no reason for you to ever be bored in Tucson Arizona or any other place. …… All About The Yarn
