well, i went back to spotlight yesterday, and bought more microfleece, and could have SWORN that I picked up little additions stuff, so should have been cheaper than what I paid, but then they told me that it wasn't, but it had scanned wrong anyway - at $12.99, and they looked in the catalogue and said it should be $8.99, but i still reckon it should have been $5.99......but it was already 5.30, and they were trying to close the shop, and emy was cranky, so I didn't argue too much.....
PP - when I was in spotlight last week, i got a book from Panda (knitting/wool people) called "learn to knit with 56 projects" and i have started with a scarf for a teddy bear, so i only cast on 9 stitches, and then get a lot more rows done! I have tried to learn a few times in the past, with mum teaching me, but she has always cast on heaps of stitches and then i do about 6 rows and get bored coz i can't really see any progress in what i'm doing......so i reckon if i can get my teddy scarf done, then i can start to tackle something a little bigger and trickier........oh yeah, I have pulled mine apart a few times, coz the first time i started with 9 stitches, and ended up with 21, and i asked mum, and she reckoned that i must have not been taking the stitch off the needle properly, but i slowed down what i was doing a bit, and i think that maybe when i was taking the wool up to go between the needles i wasn't doing it very successfully, and somtimes splitting the wool over the top of the needle, so then it looked like i had a stitch to knit, so i did, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place - so now i just be very careful to make sure that i haven't split the wool, and have been a lot more successful! (Well, this is just my theory anyway, i could be completely wrong....)
With LS - I read somewhere on another forum, that someone got one from Reece (plumbing people) for a lot cheaper - about $54? Do you reckon that it would be a real LS, or just something similar?
Edit: just went and read the cover knitting thread - i'd listen to their suggestions over mine any day!
