HELP
I am making up some kits for Slow Curves and need your help. The kit has 4 colours. According to Joji's yardage, I will need 2 skeins of the third colour for most of the kits. When I look on Ravelry at finished shawls, it looks like we can get away with 1 skein of the third colour.
Do I put in the extra skein? If you don't use it then you could be upset that you spent an extra $40 on the kit.
I don't put in the skein and you run out. Then you are super upset.
Which is better??? Please leave a comment at the bottom of the post.
I've spent today writing a newsletter and I think it's almost ready to go. I was writing about Camp and remembered something that Beth wrote for me a few years ago.
Knitting Camp is nothing like the camp you attended as a kid. At Knitting Camp you get to choose your day’s activities. Go to class, sleep in, take a hike - totally up to you. Super comfy accommodations with someone else making your bed. And the food is incredible and seemingly endless. The one way it is like camp though, is that you will make great new friends who you will look forward to seeing year after year. Come as a group, a couple (non-knitting partners love camp too!) or on your own. Don’t worry you’ll all be included in the fun.
Dad and I had dinner with Aunt Rene and Uncle Bob tonight. It's great getting together with family. Where was Beth? It was Club Championship weekend at her golf course. She played well Saturday and Sunday. Today wasn't as good but it was good enough. She won.
Now it's time to knit for an hour before bed. My needles have been calling to me all day.
I would definitely pay extra to be sure I had enough yarn to complete. If I ended up with a complete skein of yarn, I would find something else to make with it.
ReplyDeleteAs for your kits...i’d Rather have too much then not enough. Plus many great on skein patterns out there.
ReplyDeleteBy all means put in the extra skein of yarn it will be a start of another shawl.
ReplyDeleteYou could offer the extra skein as an add-on option and explain the situation in the item description... That way the customer can decide.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have the extra skein and not need to worry. I can always use the extra in some other project.
ReplyDeleteI agree. If you let the buyer know up front then they will be aware of that. Also, my thinking would be, heck I'll buy two kits and have enough left over for socks or mittens or a scarf or ???!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of optional skein attached and explain why. Otherwise put it in.

I would want the extra skein, better safe than sorry.
ReplyDeletePut in the extra skein!
ReplyDeleteExtra skein for sure! Another pair of spectacular socks are always welcome : )
ReplyDeleteIf you are putting together kits, could you offer a half skein? I know it's more work for you to offer it that way but you could build that into the price.
ReplyDeleteOptional choice of extra skein is my preference. I like the half skein idea but it is likely too much work to make it worthwhile.
