KNITTING WAS ONCE A MALE ONLY OCCUPATION

Hi everyone

Once again I've been on the interweb and come up with a wee gem about knitting.


It's an article about things you might not of known about knitting - Like number 3. Knitting was once a male only occupation.



Hope you enjoy this wee gem and let me know if there is any more things about stuff we didn't know about knitting or if you already knew some of these.

Cheerio till next time.

BARGAIN HUNTING

Hi everyone

My lovely mother in law came to visit me and the hubby today. She came to visit our new fur baby Reilly. He's a rescued cat from our local animal sanctuary. He fitted in the minute we brought him home. It's like he's been here forever.  


Our other cat Sally has been very good with him and just sleeps and eats and tries to ignore him. 


After we had gone for lunch with Jane, I asked if she wanted to go and bargain hunt in our local 2nd hand shops (this is one of our favourite things to do. We love to see what great bargains we can found).

I can't believe what I got. As a knitter this is such a great find and a brilliant bargain. I think Jane must be a lucky charm. 

I've wanted one for such a long time.  


It is a skein holder for when you are winding balls of yarn. Instead of having to get your hubby to hold your skein while you wind or instead of using the back of a chair. 




Can you guess how much I paid for it?  No.... Well I'll tell you. It was marked at £2 but when I went to pay for it. The shop had a half price sale on so I got it for a £1. What a bargain and the money goes to a good cause too.

Why not bargain hunt in your local 2nd hand shops. You never know what you'll find. 

Cheerio to next time
