Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Just started crocheting, and I'm just holding myself back from buying all the yarn, it's gonna get bad

Whatever you do, don’t go looking for yarn on Etsy. Fuck, I’ve said too much.

My mom knits and she spends way more time unraveling thrift store finds to salvage the yarn than she does actually knitting stuff.
