I was doing some sorting out - mainly, chucking all of my odds and ends, leftover partial balls of yarn, into a big tub. Someday I plan to use them to crochet granny squares to make some kind of crazy mismatching afghan blanket-type thingy, which I will then gift to someone who has displeased me, but who at the same time, will be too afraid of me to throw it out.And here is Knitting Mystery Number 1 (for me, anyway). How does the same person who buys this:
very lovely, expensive Kidsilk Hazeand this:
very lovely and not really expensive 4 ply silkalso actually manage to pay actual cash for this ?
Is it because it says "FAB" on it and you agreed? LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL but I know FAB means Foully Awful Blemish :-) There must be some trendy mother somewhere who will like it for a super-cool baby cardi .... ;-)
ReplyDeleteBecause it's easier to spot a child wearing that, even if you do have to pretend they're not yours ;)
ReplyDeleteYep - better than a HiViz jacket, that yarn ! LOL got 3 blimmin' balls of it ....
ReplyDeleteUse it to teach DD to knit :)
ReplyDeleteShe won't use anything but pink :-)
ReplyDeletemy son has learned to knit with such a ball of wool. Knits up lovely - and always interesting pattern.
ReplyDeleteI second Ania's suggestion. Tell her that pink is a colour that needs to be earned. She can start with paint-factory explosiveness.
