As a newbie knitter, I am constantly perusing the vast variety of yarns available. Some are affordable, others seem extravagant. I am a student, working part time as a server, depending very much on the generosity of patrons. As such, unless someone feels compelled to make a significant donation to my stash fund, making anything that requires more than a couple skeins of yarn out of superfluous fiber is absurd. On the other hand, working with cheap, squeaky yarns can be a daunting task. Heaven forbid you have to do anything but knit or purl. Knit two togethers are torture, and even increasing and decreasing can be painful. When knitting with thrifty yarns I yearn for the ease and beauty afforded by more luxurious brands. Then I go for a SEX at my LYS (oh, the lingo) and crave affordibility. I find myself torn and wondering, could I be yarn snob?
