Growing up I used to go to many markets; I have fond memories of going to the local market towns with my parents; for some reason I always loved the clothes... I also remember a craft pack I picked up and became quite adept at; I'm going to call it websters punch and you had material in an embroidery loop, and a pen style needle that the yarn was threaded through and you would punch through the fabric and create a looped effect... Very effective, but I have not seen the kits for years... Anyhow; recently following my sudden resurgence into knitting I have rediscovered the markets as being a source of yarn... Thinking it would be cheaper I arrived with plans and projects going through my head... But not only was the price not what I expected for the market, the range was poor... Very poor indeed! Anyhow... Not to be put off, I looked further round the market and found a retro clothing stall and found a great dress; über classy... Then I went to primark and found a few cowl neck scarves which when comparing the wool used to what was available in primark it would have been cheaper to buy the scarf, unravel and knit as desired.... I won't lie. I was tempted.
Since taking up knitting I have found (and please let me know if you have experienced this too!) that when out shopping, or looking online and see a knitted garment I find myself counting rows/stitches and looking at the formations...
I think I've gone a lil knit crazy as opposed the stir crazy!
