A tale of two yarns : 2011 knitting and crochet blog week! (Day 1)

Hi guys!

This year I am taking part in the knitting and crochet blog week :)

The theme for day one is  to writes about yarns that did and didn't work for you, so here goes:

The main consistency of my stash is acrylic yarn, which I love (I know everyone doesn't but I do!) the reasons for my love are:

• Its cheap so you can bee experimental and not worry if you get things wrong etc.. whereas with expensive yarn I have to make sure everythings perfect!
• You can get it in a hugggggggggeeeee range of colours
• It's easy to knit with
• And its easy to wash :)

Hayfield bonus DK and Robin double knit are two of my favourite acrylic yarns

Now... yarns I'm not a great fan of....

'Funky fir' and similar.

This is because it can be Very difficult (annoying) to knit/crochet with and also is mainly only useful for scarves etc... (What I mean is its not generally required for many patterns)

However when I see things such as this cutie it makes me think its not all that bad :)
