If it's wool, I always have some interesting left overs for felting ! Hah!! You got some great information on this thread, and I enjoyed reading it all. I'm glad we could help. ;) Shelagh |

And I just thought you'd been hanging around at the job I used to have,
keeping track of my hours! LOL! :-))) -- Carey in MA "Wooly" wrote in message ...

I should not be allowed near a keyboard until I've had at LEAST two coffees. A "week" is comprised of five 8-hour days, 40 hours of work. Hah! +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

Expensive yarns???
In article ,
Shillelagh wrote: snip Here's an example: I was perusing Elann's site a few weeks ago and found a thick 'n thin 100% wool yarn in a gorgeous colour. Their yarn is pretty much always discounted, so I decided I had to have it to make a felted tote bag. The cost of that yarn, not including shipping was $70 Canadian. So, now I have a tote bag I really love, that I made myself.... but the reality is, I probably wouldn't have bought the finished product if I saw it in a show. I wouldn't have paid someone the price to have it, but I paid the price for the yarn so I could make it. Go figure..... If you saw it in a show, it would have been either a mass-produced product or, at best. someone else's design. What you bought was materials for your own unique work of art. It is yours the way nothing purchased complete could ever be. If I can buy it, why knit it? I knit because there are things I can't buy. =Tamar |

And here I was gonna ask you how you managed to create 40-hour days. That's something I've been trying to do for *years*... The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom |
