Do you have a self-talk problem when it comes to your craft? In this Ravelings essay from Interweave Knits Summer , designer and knitter Candace Eisner Strick shares her thoughts on how knitters and crocheters talk about buying yarn'particularly the shame we attach to it. While many stitchers seek to use less yarn for ethical reasons, many of us attach needless guilt to something that makes us really happy. It's all about balance. Can you relate?
Spending the day in a yarn store while doing a book signing gives me the opportunity to talk with other knitters, and also to eavesdrop on their conversations with each other. As a result, something disturbing has become perfectly clear to me: knitters do not have a healthy opinion of themselves!
Conversations are often peppered with phrases like, 'I need more yarn like I need a hole in the head,' or 'I'm sick to be buying this.' One woman said several times to her daughter, 'Get me out of here!' as though she were being tortured! What she'd done was buy some yarn and a pattern she absolutely adored. Having heard so many of these remarks'and made a few myself'I've come to conclude that a large majority of the knitting population view ourselves as sick or addicted. Laden with guilt about our passion, we project a negative self-image of uncontrollability to ourselves and our families.

Now I feel like screaming to the world that buying yarn and knitting with it is a glorious passion, not a sickness. Knitters are lovers and artists. We use fibers we love for a task we love doing and we produce warm and beautiful garments, usually for people we love. Buying yarn and knitting with it give happiness and pleasure. How can this process be viewed as something negative, a sickness or addiction? True addictions are destructive and produce unhappiness. Alcoholics and gamblers pursue their addictions no matter what. However, I do not know of any knitters who are out there compulsively buying yarn while their families are going hungry or shoeless.

Another oft-heard phrase is, 'I'm going to have to sneak this into the house, so my husband doesn't see it.' If the shoe were on the other foot and the knitter was a man, would he be saying something similar about his wife? I highly doubt it! I have even heard myself utter the horrid words, 'My husband is going to kill me.' I guess if you hear something often enough you start to believe it's true. In reality, my husband has never said one contrary word to me about buying yarn. Once, after I showed him my purchases and told him how much it all cost, he asked, 'Why didn't you buy more?'
Where did I get such a dreamboat? Shame on me for sullying his name with such a rude remark!
As far as I know, or have heard, our husbands are not going to kill us for buying yarn. How melodramatic! In fact, I'll bet that if you ask your spouse about your supposed 'addiction,' you would find that he probably doesn't care one whit about the amount of yarn you possess. In my case, I know that my passion for buying yarn and designing sweaters is one of the things my husband loves about me.

I propose we knitters make a pact. Let's stop putting ourselves down. We are good people, our passion for yarn is healthy, and knitting is a reasonable way for us to spend our leisure time. If we like yarn we will buy it, guilt-free, and boldly carry it into the house for all to admire. If our hanks sit in a closet for two months or two years, it does not matter. Our yarn will eventually become something beloved. All in all, the pleasure yarn brings far outweighs the money spent. Let us praise the power of our passion.
How do you tend to talk about your relationship with purchasing yarn? Do you find yourself being unnecessarily hard on yourself? Assuming how others will react or judge you? There's nothing wrong with buying yarn, just as there's nothing wrong with cutting back and using what you have.
Having learned both music and knitting at the age of three, Candace Eisner Strick now divides her time between the two. She is co-director and cello instructor of the Suzuki String Program of Mansfield, Connecticut.
