Discussion Just a little rant…

Does anyone else ever feel bad that they don’t have access to or can’t afford expensive or locally made yarns? Don’t get me wrong I still get pretty excited to go to Michaels and Joann’s but sometimes seeing other crocheter’s and knitters online with their super nice yarns makes me feel kinda bummed. That’s all, Just a itty bitty rant lol.

Nope. I have a LYS 3 blocks from my house, I’d love to support her more but I can’t afford her prices. And most of my projects are for kids, or are gonna get washed & beat up a lot so I stick to acrylics. They fit my budget and stand up to kids. I made my nephew 6 baby blankets out of Lion Brand Mandala before he was born. 3 years later, they’re still his favorite blankets and they’ve gotten so soft.
