Annoying knots

On May 31, 2007, in Uncategorized, by Anna

I have to say…. I really dislike when there are knots in the yarn. You knit along nicely and suddenly there is a break in the yarn which has just been tied together with a knot. This is particularly irritating when the yarn is expensive. For example, the Alfa Sandnes yarn I used for Celtic Knot was close to $6 per 50g skein of 60 m. You would think that you could get 60 m worth of yarn without a break. But no – several of the skeins had knots in them, which of course I did not notice until it was between my fingers and ready to be knit.
The yarn I’m using for the Aran Afghan has been good so far, but I just stumbled upon the first knot in 13 skeins. At least I got 12 knot-free skeins with 163 m of wool…..

Grrrr!
