…..This was the most expensive item I've ever knitted. It took 3 hanks at £15.50 each and I have never used it! I might next winter, it is lovely and soft and very warm
I feel ashamed that I haven't ever use it, but I loved knitting it and would knit the same in an acrylic yarn.
Do you have anything you've made but not used for what ever reason?

Not yet but I bought a hank of hand dyed wool to knit socks but I love the colours so much I haven't wished to knit the wool.
Ha ha, the 'too precious' yarn made me smile. I suppose a jumper or two many years ago I've not worn as often as I could have. The 2 baskets I crocheted recently haven't been used much either. Have fun with your makes Cx
DH bought me a skein of sock wool made using a blend of Yak wool. It's on the needles at the moment and knitting up lovely. At £14 it was not too bad for a pair of socks.
That answer is easy for me: no. When I needed a sweater, I knit one. Mittens, ditto. Socks, I can't knit fast enough for everyone who wears them.
That's so funny. I do like to knit lace shawls but I don't spend huge amounts on them. I do wear them a lot as you say wool is so soft & warm.
I found I am getting some holes in them as they are all wool & yet we've never had moths before. Maybe it's time to look for a fibre mix of wool & acrylic.
I spent ages knitting a beautiful shawl with expensive yarn. I put it away in the cupboard and later discovered holes... blimmin moths... I needle felted over the top of the holes and made a feature of them
