Knit Crazy

Big news!! I saved $7.00 at JoAnns today.  

They had a flyer with four 50% off coupons, but the best part was they let you use them all at the same checkout! That's a first. I was so happy.  I didn't get that much but it was all much cheaper. 

Silly me had bought sock yarn last week for my next pair of socks, but after starting them read the package and learned I needs 2 balls for a pair UGH. So that's what I was after. 

What do you think of my new creation ?  I always see the yarn bowls made by the potters and drool over them with thoughts of how smartly they keep your yarn off the floor.  So I decided to make something like it.  

I used  sculpty clay, wire and card stock for this proto type.  And it WORKS!  I can even swap out differnt size bowls depending on the yarn I'm using. I'm tickled it works and was no cost to me. 

Here it is in use with a bigger bowl because I needed double balls.  You can see my strand looping away from the holder to my work. 

And here's my work - Yes, I'm very sock crazy.  When you learn to do something that you allways thought was beyond your ability you have a tendency to run amuck doing it over and over LOL. 

Well I'm clickety clacking away here on my socks. So. 

Bye.....
