Do You Buy Knitting Grab Bags?
Wednesday October 1, 2008
I really like grab bags (and usually get one every time I buy from Patternworks). Getting them is like Christmas (except no one buys me yarn for Christmas, no matter how much I'd like them to) and it's really inspiring to figure out what to do with just a ball or two or a two of a particular yarn (you'll see some of the fruits of my latest grab bag later this week.)
Do you like grab bags? Have you ever gotten one and just loved all the yarn that was inside? Or do you feel ripped off when you buy one and the yarn is all strange textures and colors? Let me know by answering this week's poll.

This isn’t my thing. I used to get bags of odds and ends seconds years (and I mean 30+ years) ago from Unger, Bernat, and American Thread when they were local to me and they were what I could afford, but I found that even then the yarn was not worth the cost, so I stopped. I prefer to choose my own yarns and fibers and I will purchase quantity when presented with a sale and the opportunity, but never sight unseen again.
