My adventures

This week, I had onlt two full days of school due to another grade taking standardized tests which gave 90% of my classmates extra sleep; but not me. Suprisingly I was up at only a little past my normal time and I bet you can guess what I did! I went out to another city to go "explore" their craft stores. Same ones, Michael's, and Joann's but bigger! This Joann's I love! this place has two floors, their selection on paper crafting is not the best but they have an entire floor for sewing, knitting, crocheting. I loved looking around but sadly, they only had $2 off the yarn I like, although they had every color. So I went across the parking lot to the Michael's where I found Caron one pound yarn which I got 50% off and some clearence yarn. This is the first time I ever bought clearence yarn and it was very disappointing. I bought two skeins for I think $5, good deal. So I drive the 20 miles home, put on pajamas, make a cup of tea, take out the yarn bags and open my clearence skeins to find that the one is in knots and it was almost like a purse where both ends were deep in the skein, I couldn't pull from anywhere. Although the other one worked, I had to return them because I really need two skeins or two colors to work on a hat. But I was quite satisfied with the pound of love. Then I went to a Big Lots today that just opened by my house and they had...YARN all kinds of Lion Brand which makes me a very happy girl! So I got these two Boucle skeins, $1.50 each! yes, they were small and I made a hat out of them tonight and they probably won't last for another one. But I got to try Boucle. They had the chenile, suede and fun yarn there too but I resisted that urge to back a U-Haul up to the shelf and load up. I was a good girl today. Something to keep in mind, Big Lots has good prices but watch those tags! I looked a skein of chenile, really soft big skein (not pound of love big, but big) and I saw the same kind of yarn in a different color that said $1.50 so I assume this skein is that price. Bring them up to the register thinking I have $6.00 worth of yarn (4 skeins) when really I have $12! You have to look at those tags. So that's my life lesson. Now as for hat count, I have 34 as of tonight and I am done making hats for tonight. Making headway with hat count
