aright, we've all established

that i'm a knitting cheapo, but hey, this crap is expensive... so i was shopping at urbn and i had this BRILLIANT idea. if you are hard up for yarn like me and can't afford hundreds of dollars just to make a sweater or leg warmers, then go to your local thrift store, pick out a sweater in good condition and frog it and use the yarn for your next project. as long as you find something that's in good condition (minimal shedding), the color you like, the yarn is bulky or chunky weight, and of hi quality natural fibers, you should be good.

online i found something that said to wrap a newspaper around one handheld mixer prong, tape it, and then tape the beggining of the sweater frog to the magazine and hit go on the mixer and you have an automatic frogger. hee hee sounds fun, i'm going to try it.
