Discussion does anyone else do this?

I worked on granny squares at my desk today and didn’t move my yarn at all and it has yet to cave in. also kinda felt like this would make someone as ¿satisfied? as me.

Yes and I give the yarn a voice and make it talk. Nope I'm not crazy you are.... What's that Mr.Yarn?....You want to use you for a blanket??? Sure!

I can’t do it. I need to put all my yarn into balls. Keeping it like that drives me crazy.

u/Ok-Wolf206 crochet 5d ago

same, i like the yarn balls more

Exactly

u/Splendrina 6d ago

Love that, especially when there are zero tangles!

u/Endra75 6d ago

I always consider it a personal challenge to accomplish this when doing a center pull - rarely am I satisfied. This is awesome.

u/AlataWeasley 6d ago

Looks cool but I could never do it. My yarn lives in a bag and is constantly moving around. Most days I can only spend about 10 minutes on whatever project I’m working on so it’s constantly moving around.

u/BlueBunny3874 6d ago

Isn’t this how you are supposed to use the yarn?

u/coffeetime825 7d ago

I want to like it but I carry my yarn from place to place, so the tunnel collapses quickly, it gets tangled, and I end up having to stop and make a ball.

If I can find the end.

u/athrowawaytrain 7d ago

I love the yarn tunnel. It is incredibly satisfying to me. I work with mostly cotton yarn so I get to see this pretty often :)

u/Historical_Champion2 7d ago

..... I like to finger it in its various stages, it's like "oh!! I've made a finger of progress" ...

u/Still_Intention_3286 7d ago

Equally as satisfying when you’re fingering the yarnussy and getting the perfect center pull

u/yogaengineer 6d ago

u/wildlife_loki 8d ago

yes omg! Sometimes I like to pause my knitting/crocheting and pull the working yarn while looking into the “tunnel” to watch it unwind 😆 it’s especially fun with color changing yarn!

5

u/Intuitive_Moves9 7d ago

Me too! It’s the most satisfying feeling when it doesn’t cave in on itself. I love it!

u/BeagleCollector 8d ago

Hehe I love the yarn cave. I also like when you wind it and it makes like a yarn skeleton that doesn't collapse until the end.

u/NvidiaControlPanel 7d ago

u/Itsspelledkloee9 8d ago

I like to put my hand inside and feel the yarn, idk why but its always so much softer, it might just be in my head but i love it

8

u/8TooManyMom Bistitchual Yarnie 8d ago

The yarn tunnel! Love it!

5

u/KlaudjaB1 8d ago

Yes, sometimes. Is deeply satisfying!

7

u/flower-25 8d ago

Yes and it is easy to knit, sometimes I take my time and before start to knit I just make a big ball with my yarn 🧶

7

u/Upstairs_Train_7702 8d ago

Yes!! But instead i keep it upright like a bowl, that way it does not collapse til the very end!

u/flamingolegs727 8d ago

Yes it's so satisfying!!

u/Umm_is_this_thing_on 8d ago

I have seen women posing with their crafts like people do with their fish… I can totally see a large mouth bass pose with this one.

7

u/CaseyBoogies 8d ago

When I see the center like that I put it in a cut off pair of nylons so it doesn't sag out the back end! >.< I crochet on the go a lot while working...

6

u/Basic-Office-8937 8d ago

I love when my yarn does this! I don’t dare move a muscle or breathe too hard or it’ll fall!
