Most of my blankets are make with acrylic and I love how they turned out. The right acrylic can be absolutely the right thing for the job, imho! <br />Sandra xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-64476705734131672002014-01-08T20:06:30.298+00:002014-01-08T20:06:30.298+00:00Mary, there are so many points I’m sure we could d...Mary, there are so many points I’m sure we could debate for hours in your message, the cost of craft, yarn prices, buying and selling handmade to name a few. <br />I do understand your point and I realise that I am indeed in the lucky position of being able to devote a good chunk of time to my hobby and so I get more time than many to indulge in doing what I love. And yes, in some, small and tentative ways I am trying to see if I could make a little income from my passion. But that is something I’m just starting to do so time will tell if it becomes a success or anything that could be termed a ‘business’. That may just be a pipe dream of mine! <br />I really hope that my post doesn’t cause anyone any jealousy or envy, I’m not intending to be competitive. I just get a bit giddy and excited about yarn stuff and with only limited people to share my daftness with in real life, I love having you guys in my computer to turn to to share the fun and excitement with. I hope that comes across too. <br />I have to say I agree with you totally about the crazy prices of yarn though, they seem to have rocketed up since I started knitting/crocheting and the cheaper alternatives get harder and harder to find. I do find that I prefer to buy yarn (or fabric) rather than any other indulgence these days and so I like to try and make wise choices about where that money goes. I’d love to be able to make a Cashmerino blanket too, but that most certainly won’t be happening any time soon, so I shop around, I use cheaper wools often and I take advantage of sales too. I do buy luxury yarns too sometimes, but it is that, a luxury. (She says, aware she’s just posted about spending a load of cash in a luxury yarn loop! That was a rare treat for a birthday though ;)) <br />Anyway, as I say, I’m sure we could talk for hours about it all as there’s so much to be said on the subject but thank you for your comment. <br />Sandra xSandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-63925232927147892392014-01-08T06:49:46.224+00:002014-01-08T06:49:46.224+00:00What a gorgeous collection of yummy crafts...

It's impossible to choose a 'favourite' so I will have to say my fav is the inspiration you give. OK, perhaps my actual fav might be the post with the excellent tutorial that helped me FINALLY learn to crochet in the round. No, wait, it's defo the inspiration! Without that post I would still be 'stashing' crochet thread/yarn/wool instead of actually using it. Yes, definitely the inspiration:)Sandra (Cherry Heart)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05632044137338148569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697593650732548152.post-89898217076465546632014-01-01T11:59:16.362+00:002014-01-01T11:59:16.362+00:00Lovely!!!
