Just for fun-If money was no object..........
There is a yarn/knitting show in my area this weekend. And it got me to thinking-what would I really like?

So-If money was no object. What would you buy yourself knitting related?

Here is my list;

A ball winder. Cause I do all my yarn into balls by hand.
HiyaHiya double points in steel in the sizes I don't have now.

Of course, I'm sure I'll find other tempting items once I go to the show.

I would buy a magnificent circular set... and then buy some ridiculously expensive yarn to knit myself something... for once.

Pay for a knitting class, to teach me how to knit socks, sweaters, hats etc. Plus tons of yarn and bins to store the yarn in. :D

I bought two plastic drawer type storage bins and it's still not enough. My hubby just sighed and said he'll get to working on the cubbies I really want as soon as it's warm enough in his shop.

Belphoebe, hey I like a gal that thinks big.

Angela, I got a set of Hiyahiya interchangables at Christmas. The sets aren't all that expensive. Even the Addis, if you save up for them.

N0obknitter, with all the videos out there on the internet, you can learn almost any knitting technique at home.

See, we won't let money stand in our way.

I'd probably buy some really thick fluffy pretty non-wool yarn and a place to put my partial projects. Oh yeah and a ton of tools that aren't needles. lol

I would buy some Addis since my needles are all Bates metal or Clover bamboo along with some really expensive yarn that I can't afford on my budget.

A herd of buffalo. Some alpaca. The land for them and a spinning wheel.
