You know what? I had a long rant written about the price of cotton craft yarn and the apparent conversion of stores like A.C. Moore’s and Michael’s to novelty yarn extravaganzas where nothing either ordinary or less than $4/50gms was permitted. And I realized that you probably don’t want to read that. Likely you already know these things and who wants to listen to me being grumpy anyways?
But the rant aside, I don’t have a lot to say. Did a bit more on the short-row scarf and that’s all I had time for yesterday. The bathmat project will likely be scrubbed because I refuse to pay half again as much for the yarn as I did less than a year ago.
There was a bright spot though:
Pretty kitty stitch markers
And that’s pretty much all for now folks. Later!
No trackbacks yet.
what kind of yarn are you using for the ‘batmat’?? i think i just might have a great deal of that in stash that i have absolutely *no* plans for and i would be delighted to send it your way-
yes, the cost of even ‘economy’ fibers can be frightening- i think the increased interest in crochet/knit projects has probably fueled this as demand so often determines price-
what cute kitties- those will make knitting even more a visual treat-
stay happy-
Those stitch markers are great. I really love the expressions on their faces.
barb - I was using Lily’s Sugar and Cream Potpurri Ombre - but please don’t worry about it - I’m just blowing steam :) At some point I’ll run into some decent priced cotton and I’ll either finish these make others.
Pam - Thet’re adorable, aren’t they? I’m glad to have them :)
