    I'm going to take this opportunity to show off my junk... :biggrin2:

    These are the ones I just got from ponycraftstore.. The first time in the history of mankind, I got myself some thick yarn! loving it so much.. I spent atleast 15 minutes (if not more.. :hide:) just running my fingers over it... [​IMG]

    These I got myself nearby for Rs 10 for 25 gm rolls.. Not bad though..
    Except for the light pink in the center.. that's leftovers given by a cousin of mine from her crocheting/knitting years..
    As you can see, lots of half done stuff there that's still attached to the main yarn.. :oops:

    These were given to me by my lovely mommy when she saw me picking up on my crocheting interest when I had only the threads (last pic) and the pink yarn given by my cousin..

    And finally, the threads.. When I went for crocheting classes, the teacher said to start with threads.. bad idea!! Anyway, since she couldn't teach me since I was a lefty, I dropped out and was stuck with these threads.. and slowly taught myself from videos on youtube..

    The End!

    Minara - It cannot be "The End"...Its just "The Beginning" ;-) ;-) ;-)
    You have started to get yourself an assorted collection....good going....stack it up !
    And I can easily imagine when you said that you took 15 mins to just have a feel of the yarn...you are not the only one, count me in too !!! :) I liked the crochet threads you have got...looks soft but the ones I got seem to feel like wires ! And I could recognize that yellow crochet thread ;-)

    the crochet threads may look all softy, but they put an dent on my finger where it runs!

    I haven't planned anything yet.. Just have some random ideas flitting around in my head.. I want to finish 2 of my half finished items..

    I don't think Minlon is available here in India.. It's a malaysian brand..
