I love to knit and crochet, but during this time I have no money for yarn. When I was in the money:) as we would say, I always had too much yarn or extra yan and needles and hooks. I always wondered how my adult children and grands wojld feel if I passed away with all this yarn about.&nbsp; How would they get rid of it without throwing it in the garbage. (They say they are not going to knit or crochet. I have a 7 year old grandson who is happily learning. So he is my only hope).</p> <p>I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has lots of yarn lying around and they wouldn&#39;t mind handing it over to me, so I can go on with this craft I love. I do other crafts but...no money right now for them.</p> <p>Let me pass on a great tip . You know all those shopping bags hanging around, from supermarkets and department stories. I live with my daughter now and she has a huge bag full of them. Cut them into long strips by cutting the bags circularly and crochet or knot. I&#39;ve made a slipper. The cutting is time consuming, but if your hands are at a loss without some crochet or knitting going on, it&#39;s well worth the effort. AND it keeps those bags out of landfills. The slippers are oh so comfortable.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
