My Desk Is a Disaster, but My Stitch Count Is Accurate: A Love Letter to Creative Chaos

Published on 16 June 2025 at 16:12

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

They say creativity thrives in chaos. If that’s true, then Crazy Yarn Lady HQ is basically the Louvre of disorder.

Let me paint you a picture:
One desk.
Five works in progress (WIPs).
Three different to-do lists — all half-finished, all telling me something slightly different.
Yarn everywhere, except where it's supposed to be.

There’s a project bag on my printer. A stitch marker in my coffee. A mysterious swatch I definitely don’t remember starting. And I swear the measuring tape has joined a witness protection program.

But you know what?
Magic is happening.

In between the WIPs, I found a new color combo that makes my heart sing.
In the chaos, I unearthed a pattern I’d written on the back of a grocery receipt.
And amid the mess, I realized: this is what Crazy Yarn Lady is all about.

Not perfection. Not Pinterest-ready productivity.
It’s about the messy, glorious, yarn-covered journey.

So if your yarn shelf is actually just a floor pile right now, if you’ve frogged the same row five times, if you found a crochet hook in your sock drawer — you are absolutely my people.

Welcome to the mayhem. You’ll fit right in.

— Yarnfully yours,
The Crazy Yarn Lady
