    Default Saw a neat idea yesterday

    although I would NEVER pay $25 for it.

    they took clear soda cups (plastic with dome lids) and put an unwrapped skein of yarn in it. . Then they put knitting needles in through the hole where there would normally be a straw.


    Very neat presentation, but certainly not worth the $25 they were asking for it :O

    That sounds really cute, but yeah $25??? Goodness! Was it a mini skein of yarn? I'm trying to picture the size of cup. Would make a cute gift idea.

    No- it was a full size cup -- like you'd get a slushie at a 7-11 store.
