Update on eBay yarn sale

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 2:56 pm 0 comments

 I have come to the conclusion to stop kidding myself. I decided to reduce my yarn to 2 boxes of sock yarn and that's that. And after sorting through the lot and even discovering another stash in my wooden box (completely forgot about that one) I am now to literally down 2 boxes of sock yarn. YAY!

I am sure after a couple more years of stuffing my face with collagen (I think it's already working) my joints might have recovered enough to be able to knit sock. At the moment all I'm doing is fixing the ones that got wholes in strange places.

Over the past few days I have already listed a lot of sock yarn and I have more to list. I still have Lang Yarn to list and a massive amount of Sirdar yarn. I really have my fingers crossed people will buy my yarn quickly because one corner of my bedroom is filled with storage boxes and shopping bag full of yarn.


After I have listed all the yarn I will turn to the gadgets and the pattern books. I have plenty of sets of interchangeable knitting needles. I will keep one set, the one's I like the most but the rest can go. Including some special knitting needles. I have also a bunch of cheap bamboo needles that can go cheaply. I have also a set of single pointed needles that need to go. I have hardly used those in the first place. Once you get used to interchangeable needles single pointed feel weird. Most of my sets aren't just the basic sizes they came with. I bought all the in between sizes too. I also have some vintage tool some collector might be interested and lots of buttons old and new.

Then the rest of the pattern books. After that I can finally take time to look at for how much I'm going to sell my beaded jewellery. I don't want to make money with them. Just to cover my costs and so I can finance my other hobbies, but I don't want to sell them too cheaply either.

Next months I will list the rest of my electronic stuff I still have lying around. Some of it I have already sold last week. And we really need to go through our storage locker. See what can be sold and what we can give away to charity.

So that's all the updates so far. Like I said I feel better since I have been taking Mobu's Bovine Collagen for about 3 months now. My nails look better and especially my knees have hardly ached recently. So I keep going and hope it will restore the connective tissue in my hands as well. I do feel a difference. Maybe not today because I was lifting boxes with fabric yesterday and believe me that stuff is heavy.

So I hope, despite the shit that's going on around the world, you all keep crafting, or reading/writing, listening or making music. Remember Earth without art is just Eh!

Happy Yule and a few Updates

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 1:21 pm 0 comments

 First of Happy Yule or whichever Festivities you are celebrating or not!


OK, to the updates.

I have closed the Folksy store again. Eight months and all I sold was one job lot of yarn, had two items wish listed and that was that. Not worth the hassle.

Everything handmade is back on eBay.

January I will list more yarn I still have kept in case my hand will improve. Well, it hasn't. Every time I do something or move my wrist, the pain is rather bad and I really don't want to make it any worse again by starting knitting again. 

It's going to be mainly Alpaca mix yarns, lots of Lang Yarn, including the knitting pattern books and some more sock yarn. I will still hold back with some of the sock yarn. I hope a couple of years more not knitting I might be able to knit socks again. But lots slower.


I wish you all peaceful festivities and a much better 2026

Yummy Yarn Cakes on eBay

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 11:32 am 0 comments

I have listed all my yarn cakes I want to sell from Hobbii and Stylecraft.
From 100% cotton to mixed and sock yarn, in a wide range of colours from bright and summery to Halloween. Many are from discontinued ranges.
Please feel free to have a browse.

I will ship abroad on request but please be aware I only ship tracked.
Just send me a message through eBay. It will not be worth it for just one item unless you really want it and don't mind to pay more for P&P than the actual yarn is. But if you get as close to 2 kg as possible it might be worth it. Also be aware when you add up that you leave about 100g for packaging and the usual % that ball/cakes can weigh more.
Or just leave me a message before you consider buying and I can weigh it for you.

P&P Europe Zone 1-3 
£10 - £16.50 for a 2kg max (250g is between £8 - £11)

Rest of the world excluding USA
£18 - £33 for a 2kg max  (250g is between £11.50 - £14)

USA
I will not ship to the USA because of impending tariffs.

Quick update reg eBay

Posted by Crazy Knitter22 at 12:08 pm 0 comments

 Unsurprisingly eBay has made some adjustments to their buyer protection fee by dropping it drastically for anything less than a fiver. So there is me who was riding it out while others ran off and cried.

I knew this would happen because it was pretty clear they were shooting themselves in the foot. We private sellers are still important even if eBay thought we were just some ballast they could throw into the sea of indifference.

So the yarn I had moved to Folksy is no relisted on eBay. But handmade items will stay at Folksy because I think this is the best place for it for now. I will see what happens when people start buying xmas gifts. If nothing sells from my handmade items they go back to eBay as well.

That's all I wanted to say for now.

Oh, I forgot, I have added sock yarn and probably next week I will be adding yarn cakes if I don't procrastinate too much 😂 and then I have another shedload of knitting books to list.

Regarding my hands, there are days they don't hurt too much but it still feels the pain is just simmering in the background waiting for me to do something stupid like opening a jar and boom! 😬
