How many patterns equal too many?

Hello all
Ive been on a bit of a tidy spree, and today not only did I realise i am a hoarder with minimalist desires, I also realised that if I were to make something new every week for the rest of my life (and I assume Ill be around for a few years yet), I would probably not get through all the patterns I have, and I would probably still have stuff to make them with, even if partly.
Yet I find myself ooooo-ing at more gorgeous patterns, hitting download (or save, or favourite) kidding myself with one day

Just me??

its kind of an obsession, can never have too much and then when you want the pattern you cannot find it or you dont own the right colour yarn hahaha

So true! Those vacuum pack bags are great though, if you do have a collection of yarn. Then you can honestly say, just a bag (or two). ;P

I do not worry about having too many because I enjoy collecting them anyway even if I wont ever use ...

Ha ha. Good point. I may use the ‘hunter gatherer’ excuse with the husband.

That’s much better than my thought (crochet patterns) of “Hooker helpline”

I’m also nearly level 2, I have a feeling I’ll be adding more to the to do list.

I do not worry about having too many because I enjoy collecting them anyway even if I wont ever use them all! Its just like anything people collect so dont feel bad for enjoying.It is human nature to hunt and gather!

It is better to collect patterns than collecting yarn!I bought too much yarn in past years and it takes up so much space. Almost all of patterns are digital and doesnt take up room in the house ;)

So it just takes up time and thats why its a hobby isnt it? Taking time for a thing you like to do.
