I Think I Have a Problem

I have to admit it. I'm addicted to textiles related gadgets.

  • I have a full set of weavettes.
  • I collect daisy winders and flower looms (and not just old ones).
  • I have 4, 6 and 8 peg knitting spools. I was going to make a 2 spoke one but I use the 4 spoke one with just 2 of the nails instead.
  • I own two tiny automatic spool knitting machines in the shapes of ducks.
  • I own (and know how to use) a lucet.
  • I love to make needle books and sew project bags.
  • I even own a butterfly loom (although I admit they really have their limits. I need to try felting my butterfly stuff to make cool fabrics I think).
  • I have a needle felting machine permanently set on the dining room table. :-P

But I'm really in trouble whenever I visit the Clover website.

For my birthday month I bought myself a set of pom pom makers

Clover Pom Pom Makers

Then I bought myself a couple of yo yo makers because I have always wanted to make a 1930's replica yo yo quilt. I'd post a picture of those too but they haven't arrived yet...

I'm not going to tell you what I bought last year :-)

But look!

Shaped yo yo makers! How freakingly cool are these? See that second shape? It's a flower! Apparently these will be released in the US in June. I hope they release them in Australia too because I'm going to keep some money by to buy the whole set.

One thing I would have said I have absolutely no interest in is a Chibi needle holder. But then I found out that one of this year's colours is orange and I do need a set of bent needles for making loomed flowers.

I love orange...

Lol, maybe I should just make up a "gimme a present" link like zefrank

PS: Do I use all these gadgets? Actually, I do!
