A Failure to Communicate September 21, 2006

Filed under: Knitting and the Internet — Manda @ 10:04 am

This eBay auction has me in stitches. It was clearly posted by someone with zero knowledge of knitting terminology. Instead of balls of yarn, it’s “bags of string”! LOL! I can understand ‘string’, but ‘bags’?! It reminds me of my father who once called skeins “yarn wads”. :p

Back to the auction: I recognize Andean Silk, Shine Sport and Parade. I think the black is Palette? Not that I’ll be bidding or anything.

Later today I hope to make a big graphics-heavy post of all the new yarns and stuff that’s arrived in the last fortnight. :)

    That is hysterical! I can’t believe they posted it as string. I’m still giggling!
