In the arts and crafts world, there are so many talented artists. However, as we all know, it's difficult to make a living as an artist.
I've been fascinated by the creativity of how some artists can turn their love and passion into something that can help not only to support their hobbies but into their careers.
Enamel pin collecting and trading are not new, but it felt like it has exploded in the last decade into something bigger than it used to be. Just think of those people who collect Disney pins and trade them within the theme parks with their cast members.
People collect enamel pins for all different reasons. You probably own some just because they're cute! Other people collect and display them as a way of making a statement.
If you want to show your passion for crocheting, knitting, or simply for the love of yarn, consider these amazing enamel pins that I've found!

Team Crochet/Team Knit
Are you Team Crochet? Or Team Knit? You could be both as well! I want to learn knitting so badly, but I haven't gotten the time or the opportunity to try it out.
Heck, I still have a set of Tunisian crochet hooks at home that I haven't even opened up yet! It's on my infinite list of things to do. I don't know when I'll ever get to it, but in the meantime, you can get your badge of honor here now!

Granny Square Love
Funny enough, in my 6 years of experience in crocheting, I have yet to make a granny square. I'm just not sure what I would do with it. But of course, if you cannot live without your granny squares, make sure you show them some love.

Crochet Magic Circle
Oh, the crochet magic circle, how I love thee. Surprisingly, It's not a technique known to all crocheters, but if you've ever made amigurumi, you've for sure used this method. It's time we honor this magical crochet technique with a statement pin!

Rainy Days are Meant for Knitting
Rainy days are also meant for crocheting, but sadly, they don't have a pin for that. It's still cute though, nonetheless! Especially those little stitches that look like hearts!

Row Counter
This one is just a really beautiful pin that could be used for yarn lovers of all crafts. Not only is it gorgeous, but it's extremely practical too! It doubles as a row counter and is super handy for keeping track of your progress.

One Stitch at a Time Hourglass
It's not about how fast you can finish a project. Sometimes, we just need a reminder to slow down and enjoy the process. I love how crochet allows me to do that - one stitch at a time.

Warm & Fuzzy Mittens
These are some really cute mitten enamel pins. I particularly love how there's a chain that connects your left and right mittens together. Oh, and these enamel pins also come in the form of stitch markers!

Granny at Heart
I've been called a granny many times by my friends/family in the past when I just want to stay at home and crochet all day. Sometimes, we just need that bit of me-time.
