A few weeks ago I was reviewing my life and how I view myself. We've suffered a lot of loss in our almost six years of marriage, and that's affected my self-worth and self-esteem more than I thought it would. I don't see myself as great at much, especially being a wife and mother, and I decided that I needed to work on that.
One thing that I believe I am good at is anything to do with yarn. I have been crocheting since I was six, and I learned to knit a little more than a year ago. I don't know why, but somehow I've always been able to do this really well.
I don't believe I make amazing things, and I don't think I'm that talented, but I need to work on myself and this is the way I can see going about it.
I mentioned this to one of my good friend, and she mentioned that I was a "Yarn Goddess". I have always loved the idea of being a goddess, in both being one and in the fact that I always imagine her as perfect and gorgeous, and to remind myself of how I am trying to be better with how I feel, I named the blog after my nickname. I find it strangely fitting.
So, I will post projects, yarn tips, ideas for patterns, some patterns I came up with myself, and much more. It won't be a blog that will attract a lot of followers, but what's the point of trying for that anyway :)
