Because I worry about you ....

Just in case you've lain awake at night wondering what a pile of thirty-ish yo-yo's looks like. It looks like this...

...

tiny... tiny .. made the old fashioned way using a tin lid as a pattern. And then I didn't have enough so I had to make even more.... bit of a miscalculation. Note to self : remember to double check the adding up......

So, if a group of geese is a gaggle, a group of crows is a parliament (not forgetting that a group of Ramblers out in the rain is a 'Misery') what do you think the collective noun for a heap of yo-yo's ought to be ? All answers gratefully received...... I'd like a smile. (I haven't really lost it - it's just it's Friday and there's a definate shortage of chocolate around here!)

Have a good weekend and stay warm!

Now that I've seen a pile of 30 odd yo-yo's I think I might lie awake wondering what you would do with them!

I'm thinking you have either a rebound or repeat of yo-yo's.

Love the misery of ramblers, but if I'm not mistaken, you have a parliament of owls and a murder of crows...

Hi Julia - Maybe it should be a round of yo-yo's - or a circle of yo-yo's - although then what would it be if the yo-yo's were heart-shaped? Maybe just Lotsa Yo-yo's? In your photo it looks like it might be apt to call them a huddle of yo-yo's. How about a bunch-a-cool yo-yo's? ;o)

hi, have no idea if the book is easy to find, I bought it in a small knitting shop in Battersea. I can scan and e-mail you the pattern if you would like, they are easy and quick to knit.

can't think of a collective name for yo-yo's, yard was a good idea but not as fab as a misery of ramblers!

[Sandi]

Maybe a trick of yo-yos? Or how about a gathering of yo-yos?

Something alliterative might be nice? A yard of yoyos? A yomp of yoyos? A yen of yoyos? A year of yoyos? Did they make you tired, making them? A yawn of yoyos?

I'm all 'y'ed out I think. x

What are you planning with all those yo-yos? I made my first recently, and they were fun to do but I'm not sure what to use them for!

[Wild Rose]

I can't think of a collective term for yo-yos, but I did like the 'Misery of Ramblers!'

[Lace hearts]

Oh, I like making yo-yos! You've been busy with them.

oohh - are they easy to make then? i fancy making something while dp watches hours of mindless drivel on tv!
no idea what you'd call a yo-yo collective although that sound cool itself - lol x
