Have you noticed that the prices for yarns and wool has really gone up to the sky? That's why it's cool to find some cheap new yarn....and guess where? At the dollar store of course. It's called "Cable Knitting Yarn" and it is 100% polyester. And yes, I will admit, i have found occasional "flaws" in the balls of yarn, which the manufacturer deals with by simply tying the yarn onto a new yarn piece within the ball. Buy hey, there is still good value here. The cost of the hats in both photos is simply $2 canadian dollars each plus tax. One ball of yarn makes one hat. I wing an even simpler pattern than I have used recently, because it still seems that the trend is toward minimal fuss, instead of extra frills. So if the kids start asking for pom poms and doo dads, then perhaps that will be done the next time round. For today....they'll have to settle for plain Jane style. Well, have a great day friends......creating and prospering peacefully. |
