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!
Stumble it!

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
Maybe a trick of yo-yos? Or how about a gathering of yo-yos?
Check out this site for some interesting fictitious collective names:

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!
I can’t think of a collective term for yo-yos, but I did like the ‘Misery of Ramblers!’
Oh, I like making yo-yos! You’ve been busy with them.
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!
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.
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)
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…
