HOW much?!!

Another knitting magazine - an early present from dear heart.

Another shock. This magazine is generally kinder to my blood pressure as more nearly aimed at my attitude to knitting which does not involve credit cards. However...

£39.99 for 100g of yarn. Yes, nearly forty pounds sterling for a small ball of wool. It's cashmere and silk with glittery bits. You would have to twiddle around with fancy stitches to get a scarf for forty quid. A normal scarf is likely to cost you nearer £120 - over one hundred pounds for a scarf!

I had to have a cup of tea to recover.
