Resist no longer

By in crochet

This glow in the dark yarn’s been around for a long time now and up until yesterday, I’d avoided it. Although I’d looked at it many times because I have a deep, abiding love for all things glowy.  It’s on sale at Zeller’s (and everywhere, I think) for half the original price so I went for it, 2 balls of the yellow “light bright” yarn. I’m knitting (!) it into mittens for myself-how cool will that be?

Yikes, it’s not listed on the Bernat website so I might race out today and buy more.  The other yarn is only marginally classier, it’s actually wool from Romni. Here’s how I buy yarn: what appeals to me visually and then I rub it on my neck to see if it’s too itchy. Then I look at the price and either smile or curse my expensive taste. That yarn’s probably going to be another scarf.

    If these take me forever to make, I might just quit knitting again. It’s so hard and time consuming!

    Funny, you’re knitting and I’m sitting at home crocheting a big, fuzzy neckwarmer.

    Lunch this week?

    Yes please.

    And while I am at it, I have to say that Zeller’s is one step below Walmart in crafts, and about 100 steps below in customer service. Now that they only carry crudball yarn at Z’s-and their knitting needles cost almost double-, I won’t be going back for any reason. And seriously, the cashiers at that location are aggressively slow. Intentionally, ridiculously slow. It’s over the top obnoxious.
