I mentioned yesturday that I will need extra wool for my RWC blanket, well read yesturday's blog. This morning I got an email from Deramores in the UK saying that they are have discounted all DK wool. So I popped off to check not thinking that with our revolting exchange rate it would make any difference to my local LYS price.
I was so shocked to find out that even with shipping it is R200 cheaper! That's right. So I ordered it. I couldn't believe it. I said to the Bank Manager I am definitely going to make use of the special offers that overseas sites make on yarn from now on. I always assumed that it would be more expensive.
This is me doing the happy dance that I saved R200!!!
To learn how to join as you go I went to http://speckless.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/join-as-you-go-method-for-crochet-motifs/ and followed the tutorial. Practice on something before doing it on a big project. I made the mistake of trying it on a blanket and didn't like it. After making the bag I think I am better at it now.
