Hi everyone! I am Colleen, Founder of YarnWars!
I started this site as a way to feed my yarning needs, and find other like-minded individuals in the world of Yarn, Knitting, Crochet, you name it!
YarnWars really started off on Facebook. I knew that I could find a few fun people there, and I’m amazed at the amazingly, awesome talents I see posted daily. WOW! Whatta group!!
I just thought I’d tell you a bit about myself, I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a…. well, you get it. I have 4 awesome kids- Here is an adorable picture of them:
Pretty cute huh?! lol, I have my oldest Daughter, she is 19, then my 3 boys, 16, 15 & 10, and the picture above, well, that is a normal day in my home =)
So, OH! Almost forgot, I have my sweet puppy Maggie, who is not really a puppy, but I call her a puppy because she’s just sooooo cute!
I come from a BIG family! My mom and dad, of course, and then 7 siblings! That makes a total of 8 kids, 5 of which are girls, so you may see them from time to time around here or on Facebook. (We[re not openly admitting to being family.. so you probably won’t even know) =P
So that, in a nutshell, is About Me.
I like to have fun, so anytime I have the opportunity (and the extra money, of course) to run a contest… I will!
I love meeting new people, chatting & learning new things, so chances are good that you will see me as a very active participant in the YarnWars community.
Now, you probably thought this About Me was going to be all about how I started yarning and why I still do it, and all that jazz. Well, I thought that might be a little boring & redundant because, if you are addicted to crocheting or knitting, and chances are, you are! because you are here.. You are just like me… addicted! So, there you go! I’m just like you, and that is why we have so much in common, so I will see you later at YarnWars on Facebook!
Thanks for being a part of YarnWars! Sooooooo happy to have you with us =)
I just watched my first video of you…… and you are awesome! Your voice is perfect, you explain everything out, and I am now going to make the stormy waters scarf for my daughter, who I know will love it. Keep doing videos you are great!!!!!
You are so kind Donna =) Thank you! ♥
I love your designs. I am making the Venetian Scarf. How do you make the Flower Scarf Clip shown in the pictures of it?
I’m so sorry for my late reply here Janet. I wish I could remember which pattern I used for that pattern but I’m not sure.
I know it was asked much earlier on in the video and I was able to respond with a link at that time, but I’m not 100% on that.
Thank you for your kind feedback ♥
Hi there. I have been crocheting your pattern Baby’s first mary jane booties and love them so much I have family members asking me to make them for them…my problem is I need a bigger size pattern for 1 to 2 year Old’s. Are you able to email me a pattern for large sizes please. I have taught my self to crochet due to an injury and am now hooked.
Thank you so much
Awww… Thanks for your sweet comment Eileen! I will work on one for you and send it off to you as soon as I’m finished. It could be about a week on that. Thanks again!
