While most of the offerings at these fairs are a little daggy, well, really daggy (think crochet tea towels and polar fleece dog coats), every now and then you find a gem.
It would take me months to knit this for Adele and I don't even think I'd be capable of knitting those cables down the cardigan. Even though is just acrylic, I still can't believe it was only $8! I'll be back next winter to stock up her wardrobe in cute cosy knits.
Now back to my last post. I just wanted to thank you to everyone for the supportive comments (Amber, Lara, Jen, Karen, Sonja, Cat, Sophie, Trihn, my sis, everyone!) about my current predicament. I am feeling a little better about my choices and after talking to anyone within range over the past days about where I'm at, I realise there are many others like me, both at uni and not, who doubt some of their big choices.
I begin prac teaching on Monday and I am looking forward to it. I think I will be OK and I will finish my degree.
To you Bernice: I am becoming a primary school teacher and certainly will get in touch if I need any help. Thanks so much for the offer!
Hope you all have a great weekend. It's cold and miserable here, but the 'glass is half full' again!
Bargin I say. Sometimes you just find little old ladies that like to sit and knit and put the money they get back into more wool. I bought a little act acrylic jumper for Baden when he was a baby. She wanted $5 for it. I handed over $10 and told her to keep the change and buy herself a cupcake for morning tea.
ReplyDeleteI too have bought cardigans from stalls or the op shop - new garments made especially to sell - and they've been great! Best of all is it will be so easy care. I've changed buttons on some. I can't blame them for using cheap buttons. The skirt is gorgeous - it is yours?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your 1st day of prac, thinking of you!
