Along the way, I will share my thoughts, fears, and excitement as I navigate through the store. Keep reading to join me on this journey!
Introduction
Yarn shopping is something that many people enjoy, but for me, it's not just about buying yarn. It's an opportunity to explore different colors, textures, and brands, while also indulging in my passion for knitting and crochet. Today, I will be taking you all with me on a yarn shopping trip to Joann's. I have received requests from my viewers to document this experience, and I am thrilled to bring you along on this fun and yarn-filled adventure.
Yarn Shopping Request
Before we dive into the shopping experience, I want to acknowledge the requests I've received from my viewers. Many of you have asked me to take you along on my yarn shopping trips, and I couldn't be more excited to fulfill your requests. It feels like a virtual hangout session where we can explore the world of yarn together. So, thank you for the suggestion, and I hope we have a great time together.
Plans for Using Yarn
As much as I love buying yarn, I also want to be mindful of using up the yarn I already have at home. It's easy to get carried away with new projects and accumulate a vast collection of yarn, but I believe in being resourceful and minimizing waste. So, after this shopping trip, I plan to focus on completing my current projects and utilizing the yarn I have before diving into new purchases. It's a small step towards being more sustainable in our yarn endeavors.
Fear of Vlogging in Public
Now, I must admit, I am a bit nervous about vlogging in public. In the past, I have always preferred the comfort of my own home for recording videos. However, I want to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone. So, today, I will be facing my fear and vlogging inside Joann's. It's a vulnerable experience for me, but I believe it will also make our journey more authentic and engaging. So, bear with me as I navigate this new territory.
Yarn Shopping at Joann's
Excitement and Apprehension
As I arrive at Joann's, I'm filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. The idea of exploring the yarn section and finding hidden treasures is exhilarating, but at the same time, I can't help but feel a little self-conscious. However, I've made up my mind to make the most out of this adventure, no matter how intimidating it may seem.
Red Yarn for Sweaters
My first stop is the red yarn section. I'm currently planning to make a couple of sweaters, and red is the color I've been envisioning for them. I quickly find a bulky red yarn that's perfect for sweater-making. The texture and thickness are ideal, and I can already picture how cozy the finished sweaters will be. I pick up a few skeins and move on, determined to find more yarn for my upcoming projects.
Temptation of Lion Brand Yarn
While exploring the aisles, I stumble upon a beautiful display of Lion Brand yarn. The colors and softness immediately catch my attention, and I can't resist the temptation. Even though I had intended to only buy the necessary yarn, I decide to give in to my desires and add a few skeins of Lion Brand yarn to my cart. Sometimes, you have to treat yourself, right?
Moving Away from Yarn Section
After satisfying my yarn cravings, I realize there's more to explore in Joann's than just yarn. I venture into other sections of the store, keeping an eye out for any crafting supplies or accessories that spark my interest. As I move away from the yarn section, I feel a sense of newfound excitement, curious to see what else awaits me in the store.
Checking Out and Hauling
Awkward Checkout Experience
As I gather all the items I've selected, I make my way to the checkout counter. I can't help but feel a mixture of nervousness and excitement as I complete the transaction. The cashier seems indifferent to my vlogging, but I can't shake off the feeling that I might have made others around me uncomfortable. Nevertheless, I secure the bag containing my yarn treasures and head back to my car.
Revealing the Haul
Now that I'm back in the privacy of my car, it's time to reveal my haul. I know I basically showed you most of the items in-store, but there's something satisfying about showcasing everything in one place. It's like a mini celebration of my yarn shopping triumph, and I can't wait to share it with you.
Pound of Love Yarn
One of the items I picked up is a skein of Pound of Love yarn by Lion Brand. It's a standard medium weight yarn, perfect for the sweater project I have in mind. The color is vibrant, and I can already imagine how stunning the finished piece will be. Pound of Love yarn is known for its softness and versatility, making it a popular choice among makers.
Color Made Easy Yarn
Another yarn that caught my eye is the Color Made Easy yarn, also by Lion Brand. This bulky yarn is essential for my upcoming Valentine's Day video, where I plan to create something special. The deep red color is romantic and fitting for the occasion. I can't wait to start working on this project and share it with all of you.
Red Heart Hygge Yarn
While browsing through the aisles, I couldn't resist grabbing four skeins of Red Heart Hygge yarn. The softness and fuzziness of this bulky yarn were too tempting to pass up. Although it wasn't on sale, I decided to treat myself and trust my instincts. I have a sweater project in mind for this yarn, and if I have enough left, I might even make a cozy hat to match.
Additional Purchases
Getting a Holder for Hooks
Apart from the yarn, I also needed to address another issue – losing my crochet hooks. I decided it was time to invest in a holder that could keep my hooks organized and prevent them from miraculously disappearing in my room. Joann's had a container that seemed perfect for the job, although it was primarily designed for knitting needles. I didn't mind as long as it served its purpose of holding my hooks securely.
Finding the Perfect Buttons
As I continued browsing, I stumbled upon a collection of buttons that instantly piqued my interest. They were simple, standard buttons, but their size and aesthetic appealed to me. I thought they would be a great match for the green sweater project I'm planning. So, of course, I added them to my cart without a second thought.
Unexpected Purchase of Knitting Needles
Lastly, in a moment of spontaneity, I found myself purchasing a set of knitting needles. To be honest, I don't even know why I bought them. I've never been much of a knitter, but something urged me to give it a try. Perhaps it's the desire to explore new crafts or the possibility of discovering a hidden talent. Whatever the reason, I'm excited to see where this unexpected purchase takes me.
Conclusion
The yarn shopping adventure at Joann's has come to an end, but the journey continues as I embark on new projects using the yarn and accessories I've acquired.
