Mine also has knitting needles of all sizes, and 2 different books with easy projects. These would be great to teach a scout troup or school class how to knit. For $1 they are not great quality, but they are better than using pencils!

Sandra, thanks. I did Google the yarns last night and didn't turn up much which surprised me (I thought I scored some great deals on popular high-end yarns, and I'm a fairly good internet researcher). So far, it seems that the "regular price" on the TM sticker is higher than I've found on-line, and their sale price is the same as on-line. Oh well... I like em'. I may go back and get more if I find I didn't get enough for a typical project. socks12345: In addition to the household stuff (sheets, furniture, dishes, glassware etc.) they also sell nice gift wrap items (bags, paper, tissue), garden items (pots, bird feeders, etc), holiday decor, clothing (I also picked up 3 pair of socks yesterday), frames (also got a cute frame yesterday), books (including kids), toys, sunglasses/eyeglasses, craft items, tools, kitchen appliances....and other things I'm forgetting. Every week they have featured sale items, this week's included yarn, a nice knitting pattern book (Big Book of Knitting Stitch Patterns), totes for knitters and quilters. We bought our Cuisinart food processor at one of their featured sales, also a nice cobalt blue foam pot for indoor plants. I've purchases tablecloths, ceramic dishes, lots of stuff. It pays to go often and see what's new, but you have to know prices to know how much you're saving.

I see what its doing, essentially extending terms and reducing interest rate in order to make the borrowers income fit into the percentage. If I were the borrower, maybe start looking for a low paying job? That way I can lower my payment. What happens if you can't do that? what happens if we're at a 1% interest rate and a 50 year mortgage to get there?

Back in February I had mentioned Dishie yarn by Knit Picks. I still love that yarn. Orders up to $19.99 ship for $3.99; orders between $20 and $49.99 ship for $5.99, and orders over $50 ship for free. (Prices are to ship to the 48 contiguous states, military addresses. Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories have higher rates, but you can see them on the website. They also ship to Canada.) But, another good online place to shop is Jimmy Beans Wool. They have a fantastic selection of yarns (they are located in Reno, NV and have a huge warehouse). Shipping is free for orders $75 and over; and all other orders ship for $4. PLUS, you earn rewards on a quarterly basis. You get 5% back on all eligible purchases during the quarter, and also earn one free shipping coupon each quarter that you shop. I have spent a small fortune on yarn from Jimmy Beans Wool. Edited to add that I am not in any way affiliated with either Knit Picks or Jimmy Beans Wool. I'm just a very satisfied customer of both!
