Post Body

You can monetize this audio, but please credit me as the author. Also, I am a crocheter and knitter so alot of my own thoughts and feelings have gone into this.

Speaker: 23 yr old female. Loves yarn and will spend all of her money on it.

Listener: 23 yr old (no specific gender). Loves Speaker but is worried that she will go broke.

Context: Listener and Speaker have been best friends since they were little. A few years ago, Speaker learned how to crochet and knit and has been making plushies nonstop. She will have yarn strewn across her apartment and will take her projects almost everywhere.

• (Listener comes into Speaker's apartment and sees her crocheting something on the couch. Listener asks what she is working on)
• Speaker: What are you doing here? You weren't supposed to come over until 4:30. (Looks at clock) Oh! It is 4:30.
• (Speaker scrambles to hide the yarn)
• Speaker: Ah! Don't look at it. It's not done yet!
• (Listener asks why she is working on another project when there are so many unfinished projects scattered about)
• Speaker: Why am I working on a new project? Because it's for you and it takes precedence over everything else, that's why! Also, you know very well that I have a hard time focusing on just one project at a time. It's part of the crocheting and knitting curse.
• (Listener asks if they can see what Speaker is working on)
• Speaker: No you can not see it! It's not done and that will spoil the surprise! But If you want a hint, you can go yarn shopping with me. All of the stuff I need is supposed to be on sale this week, so hopefully my wallet won't cry like last time.
• (Listener agrees to go, but only to keep Speaker on track)
• Speaker: So you'll only go to keep my track and not blow my entire wallet on the yarn sale? That sounds like you being a good friend. Let me grab my stuff and we can get going. And no peeking at your surprise!
• (Shop bell sound)
• Speaker: Ah! The smell of fiber paradise!
• (Cat meows)
• Speaker: Hello Tangle! Have you been a good kitty today? Have you played with any of this fun yarn?
• (Tangle meows and purrs)
• Speaker: your mom said you couldn't? Well, I'll see if I can spare some of my yarn stash for you to play with. I honestly have so much, I could fill a swimming pool.
• (Walking sound)
• Speaker" OK, let's see what colors I need.
• (Pulls out list, Paper wrinkling sound)
• Speaker: I need three skeins of yellow yarn, two skeins of black yarn, and 1 skein of red yarn. I have enough pink and I do need more stuffing...
• (Speaker starts muttering)
• (Listener taps her on the shoulder)
• Speaker: Oh, sorry! I was muttering again, was I? I just become so excited when getting yarn for projects, that I kinda go into my only little world.
• Speaker: Now can you guess what I'm making based on these colors?
• (Listener shakes their head)
• Speaker: You can't? Well, I guess you'll have to think about it until I'm done. I promise you'll love it though.
• (Speaker sees more yarn on sale)
• Speaker: That Mohair yarn is on sale for half off! And it's in emerald green! I gotta have it.
• (Listener grabs Speaker before she can grab the yarn)
• Speaker: You're right. I am on a budget right now, so the mohair will have to wait. This is why I bring you along on my yarn-shopping expeditions. If I came here by myself, I'd go into debt by trying to buy the whole store. Now that I finally have all of the supplies I need, let's get to the checkout before I buy anything else.
• (Time skip)
• (Cell phone ringing, Speaker's voice comes on)
• Speaker: Hey bestie! Did you recently get a big package from me in the mail? It should have a note saying not to open it until I call you.
• (Listener says yes and gets the package)
• Speaker: OK. Do you have the package in front of you?
• (Listener says yes)
• Speaker: Good! Now be careful when opening it up, because the contents can be torn if you go crazy with the scissors.
• (Cardboard tearing sounds)
• Speaker: Tadah! It's your very own, jumbo Pikachu plush! Remember when we went to the mall last month and you saw that Pikachu plush, but it was way too expensive? Well, I decided to make your own, and make it bigger and better!  Now I am off to work on your Christmas present, which I was working on before this Pikachu! Enjoy the plushie!

(Phone hanging up sounds)
