Are You a Yarn Zombie?

October 18, 2013 by AllFreeCrochetAfghanPatterns 2 Comments

A Zombie is, according to dictionary.com, “the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose.” Well, that’s quite creepy. Perhaps we should look at the more informal definition of a zombie being “an eccentric or peculiar person.” Ah, much better. Now what is a yarn zombie? Being a yarn zombie doesn’t mean you have to be evil. But you can definitely be an eccentric knitter or crocheter who just can’t stop!

Recently, I discovered a peculiar little website and iPhone app called Yarn Zombies and I thought it’d be perfect for Halloween crochet and knitting! We had a little fun in the office and turned some of our editors into yarn zombies. Prepare to be very, very afraid…

With the free iPhone app, we were able to make our editors turn into true yarn zombies:

Caitlin Yarn Zombie

Meet Caitlin, one of the editors for AllFreeKnitting. She considers herself a yarn zombie because she feasts on skeins instead of brains. Just kidding she loves yarn! She’d never waste yarn like that. In fact, here are some of her favorite ways to use up her yarn scraps:

1. Easy Knit Necklace
2. 10 Minute Knit Ring
3. Patchwork Stash Scarf

P.S. She loves this Zombie Bunny Sunset Yarn because she also has a pet bunny at home!

 

 

 

 

Audrey Yarn Zombie

Meet Audrey, another editor for AllFreeKnitting. She considers herself a yarn zombie because she can never stop knitting. Never. She knits night and day for hours and hours. She’s always so wrapped up in her knitting that I could barely get her to share her favorite knit shawl patterns:

1. All Seasons Lace Wrap Cardigan
2. An Easy Shawl to Knit
3. Crescent Shawl

P.S. Audrey also has a rabbit at home, and she thinks this Zombie Bunny is adorable.

 

 

 

 

Jenny Yarn Zombie

Meet Jenny, one of the editors for AllFreeCrochet. Jenny considers herself a yarn zombie because she’s been hooked on yarn ever since her very first bite. Her  head is so full of yarn, she makes nothing but crochet hats:

1. Sly Fox Crochet Hat

2. Hungry Caterpillar Hat

3. Dinosaur Hat

P.S. She’s so hungry for yarn that she gets along great with these Hungry Monsters and this Cyclops Hat.

 

 

 

 

Julie Yarn Zombie

Meet Julie, the third editor of AllFreeKnitting. She considers herself a yarn zombie because she loves the color red and she only makes pattern in blood red yarn:

1. Rosy Red Riding Hood Cape

2. Red Velvet Hat

3. Color Riot Cowl

P.S. Julie thinks this Tiny Zombie is adorable and she wants to hang this Zombies Welcome sign on her door.Knitmare on Elm Street is one of Julie’s favorite books. You’ll find patterns for all sorts of Halloween oddities, such as a Zombie Egg Cozy, a Shrunken Head in a Jar, a Light Up Ghost, knit vampires, knit gravestones and so much more.

What makes you a yarn zombie?

    I wake up with my crochet hook and yarn on the pillow next to me because I fell asleep crocheting. I carry my projects everywhere and if I have enough time to get the yarn out of my bag I am crocheting anywhere I am waiting, at the doctors office, waiting for an oil change, even when we go out for drinks, I crochet at the bar. I think we should have yarn breaks like people take cigarette breaks.

    I go to bed at night with my crochet hook too, watch a show on my phone while crocheting. I have a special bag that I carry my project everywhere with me. After the kids are in bed I am crocheting until all ours of the night and in the car waiting when I pick them up from practices.
