I've cut back on buying yarn. I can't possibly crochet fast enough. I've donated about 8 shawls this year. A lady at my crochet group brings them to her church. They bring them to shut ins. I've found 3 different crochet/knitting groups two are at libraries. Can't always get to them all. Another lady brings Lapghans to a dialysis center. So I took some donated squares and joined them. They went to the dialysis center. I gave up trying to sell stuff. Baby blankets go to ladies at my church. I can't keep all these FOs forever. I keep some.

I gave my NY kids hats they didn't seem to want any this visit. I prefer not to donate and pay postage

Yes, I know about "round tuit" as we were given one each at church many years ago!! Petra, what a treat to see you! I watch you for many reasons but mostly because of your faith, honesty & realness..... hmmm.... is realness a word?! Thanks for sharing your heart! I can sooooo relate but for different reasons. My heart, brain & body often don't connect due to illnesses, so I often have to do what I call brainless projects until my brain catches up again. I've had a few game changers that have really helped me! I now have "Finish it Fridays" which is when I sew on buttons, sew in ends, complete nearly completed projects etc. I also had an issue with buying yarn & it was causing me to have anxiety & FOMO. Now I have a few rules for myself.... I only buy yarn from money I make from sold projects, or for my birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. I also allow myself to buy heavily reduced yarns but only if it's for charity items & if I'm going to start them within the next couple of weeks. I also crochet a ton of stuff for charities which does my heart good! Lapghans for our local Domestic Violence shelter, cat blankets for our local animal shelter & baby items, hats & fingerless mittens for a national Aussie charity. I hope your dog sweaters sell.... I'm sure they will now that the weather is cooling down. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

Petra I would watch what ever you put out on your videos. All I have to do is see your face on the list of videos and I click to see what your doing. Your makes , even not finished, are always so wonderful! It shows what your working on. I have so many unfinished works it’s not funny. But I don’t care. It is for me to enjoy and if I don’t enjoy it I stop working on it. But you never know tomorrow I might pull it out to work on or frog it. So you enjoy it all my friend. ❤️👍

Hi Petra, I sometimes watch your channel, but don't comment. Just wanted to tell you that I empathize with you about the frustration with so much yarn. I have spent the last two months organizing my room and my yarn and such. I gave a lot of yarn away to charity. I feel so much better knowing exactly what I have and where it is. It truly freed me up!! I feel more creative now that I have more room and am organized. I am going to write things down more often too because my memory is not what it used to be. I would suggest just start with giving the hats away...Just do it. Make a goal for every week, no matter how small. Love the pillow you made :) Take care of yourself, I have been praying for you.

Hi, Tammy! I am so sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. If you ever get the "hankerin'" to start a sweater, I would LOVE to help you! I made my first one about 5 years ago, and when I realized I was making it out to be harder than it was, you couldn't stop me! So, just let me know!

I have so many started projects but out yarn for the project. Then, I tend to move on to another project before I get more yarn for the projects not done.

You really should sell or donate what you’re not going to use. I had to do that and I too use to buy for projects and never did them. I stopped buying yarn and won’t buy more until I used up my stash which I’ve had for over 10 years

SWEATER. I am working on a sweater that has the cutest rib. It's different but makes a cute collar. Its called the Callen cardigan by Ruby Wells. You could do something like that, and it would be cute in a single color. Howdy Petra. It was good to see you. You do have a beautiful head of hair. I have worn glasses since I was 8 and I feel incomplete til I get them on. I don't do as much you tube as I used to at least the channels. I visit Granny Dee a few times a week and listen to her read. If you're not feeling like being pn you tube then don't. If it makes you feel good to get on and visit with us, then do it. I was watching one that has gone up to 3 videos a day and has to rack her brains to come up with something to say. I've just got disinterested in it. Your right. I used to do one project at a time. Now I have too many WIPs and that is probably why. I see others making something and I jump in. I love tu-its.

Yes, she is fine. She is just has a lot going on right now. I will try to encourage her to make a video - if nothing else just to let her friends, like you, know she's okay.
