Knitting is a costly hobby

Posted on April 7, 2007
Filed Under Personal |

Sometimes, i wish that hubby can be more supportive of my knitting. To him, it’s a costly hobby to keep as yarn is very expensive here in Malaysia. One of the reasons i’ve slowed down on knitting so much is also because of the high cost involved. Being able to afford it is one thing. But still, a decent blouse can cost around Rm500 in yarn alone.

Yeah, it’s therapeutic and i love it when i can get completely absorbed in a project. But i knit very fast, and when it’s completed, i’ve gotta go get new yarns again, lol. Asking him to drive me over to the yarn shop is like a “forget it” thing. Hard to get a parking space there. Oh well… have to “teh” harder, lol.
