A few weeks ago I taught myself how to do granny squares (thanks to Pip Lincoln's Book ). I've always knitted but have been scared of crochet. I am now officially addicted. I am making a blanket and have done about 25 so far. I was very pleased until I measured it up and realized I have to do 100! Well, I have plenty of wool but I am easily bored so when I saw this post at Sarah London I jumped on it! Actually I was at spotlight a few weeks ago when they announced over the loud speaker that they were throwing out wool for 50c a ball!! I wish I had more money that day because I got some really nice bamboo and wool blend which is so soft to use! Picked up some at the op shop the other day too but didn't realize one of them was acrylic. I have decided that I WILL NOT USE ACRYLIC WOOL ANYMORE!! That is it! It feels so horrible, sort of squeaky. I feel it in my fingers like nails on a blackboard! Am I getting a bit strange and quirky? Probably....
So I am going to send all my acrylic that I have been hanging on to for years just in case and I am sending them down to the op shop!

sed acrylic a few times but it doesn't wear well and it seems such a pity to waste all that work on a short lived projuct. Cherrie
