Something useful (for a change).

Some people love the Ikea experience. Others of us love the Ikea experience, but compliment it with a mindless excusion through Dollarama. Here's a little secret: I'm one of those people. And I managed to create some very useful knitting markers with materials purchased at one of the junkiest retailers on earth. Most of the materials, anyway--the small-sized rings and little metal pieces actually came from some LYS and Zellers, yet another junky-assed store). The pliers and snipper thingy went for one dollar each, while I saw the identical items sold as a group at Hobby Lobby in the States for some insane price like $13 USD. Talk about profiteering--that's scandalous!!

My Instruments

The little metallic dealies attached to the rings are in actuality, wine glass charms. I didn't want you to think I'm some kind of lush because there seems to be this weird alcohol motif running through my tiny creations. The unexpected bonus comes from the bunch o' grapes design, as it sort of looks like the continent of Africa if you flip it over.

Those who know me, know that I frequently knit with , because my vision sucks to fullest. I had problems finding yarn , but found yet another solution courtesy of the aisle at

So please, don't say I never offered you any useful tips. M-Diddy would neverto shop at Dollarama, Zellers, (or Ikea, for that matter), and therefore . I, on the other hand, couldn't care less. So, revel in my indifference, and embrace your inner cheapskate. And if you just where you got those . lower herself would never have come up with such a practical ideaare hung-up that way,lie if anyone asksmagnificent place markers
