Bob and I customarily search out the best bargain. We spent 10 minutes in a large discount store not long ago trying to determine which bulk package of toilet paper would be the best deal. Best deal meaning cheapest yet functional with or without one of the coupons we had.
I enjoy knitting. I check the discounted bins for deals. A found some of those fancy light-weight mini-skeins at Big Lots. They make those furry looking scarves. What a deal.
About a month ago I was looking for yarn to make an afghan for our new van. In the Midwest, it's a good idea to keep a blanket in your car. I was searching Hobby Lobby looking for a deal.
I have knitted for years with cheap yarns. That day I decided to try a newer brand. I found my color and paid $3.49 for each 7 oz. skein. That's about $1 more a skein than what I'm used to spending.
How nice this yarn is! I'm headed back next week for more. I have enjoyed working with it so much. Before I go back, I'll wash and block the afghan I completed. I'm hoping this yarn will wash and dry well.
Like they say, the proof is in the pudding.
'til later
