The inspiration for today's post comes from Spinning Daily
Don't be shocked, but occasionally I read blogs on topics other than tatting. When I do they are generally fiber, fabric or book related.
So when Spinning Daily asked if I was a yarnophiliac, I said yes! Their marketing e-mail offered a prescription-free cure. I chuckled at the clever spin (← pun), but quickly converted "yarnophilia" into a more lace-worthy disorder.
Threadophilia: A deep love of and abnormal obsession with thread.
Unrepentant thread junkies (like me) embrace our condition. We don't need a cure!
But let's take things one step further, shall we?
Tatophilia: A deep love of and abnormal obsession with tatting.
Now that's what I'm bloggin' 'bout.

Threadophilia: A deep love of and abnormal obsession with thread.

LOL!!! I often wonder if I have an obsessive disorder because I can't seem to stop accumulating thread...I have more than I can possibly get through and yet I continually "collect" more :-) The voices in my head tend to see a ball I don't have and scream "must buy thread" at me!!! At least you have given us a name for it!
ReplyDeletewe Tatophiliacs don't need help, it is the rest of the population who do. He He
ReplyDeletewhy is it we have the disorder? seems to me we are the sane ones, and the rest of the pop. are the insane ones, they should have a disorder.
so if excessive acquiring of thread makes you a threadophiliac, and loving tatting makes you a Tatophiliac would acquiring shuttles make you a shuttlephiliac?
if so, then I have 3 disorders and that should make me a carrier right?
Most definitely! If I tatted all day, every day, I'd never get through my stash... yet I can't stop buying when I see a new color!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought I that I was a tattaholic. So I don't have to worry about withdrawal, just hope no-one finds a cure!
ReplyDeleteI've been infected!
ReplyDeleteI could say the same thing Diane said
ReplyDeletebtw, I just placed another (thread) order this week... can rest a bit easier now as I've been informed it has already shipped out (LOL)
