I mean who can afford to pay close to £100 to knit a jumper?????<br />Great work, looking forward to what you come up with next. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874726742890752205.post-70567459858003551322012-10-22T18:32:14.938+01:002012-10-22T18:32:14.938+01:00That waved rib is amazing and that kitty paw is ve...That waved rib is amazing and that kitty paw is very cute. Knitting with acrylic sucks but until they lower the price I'll have to suffer... it's just so pricey!

Knitting has become so expensive though. Maybe worth trying a pattern in acrylic then splashing out on the good stuff when you know the fit. <br />Both lovely patterns and work.
