Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.

Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

    Knitting acrylic yarn on basic plastic needles is fun, mostly.

    Knitting merino wool on a slick set of stainless steel needles with memory-free interchangable cables feels so nice I feel like I’m breaking a law.

      For sure. But there are ways to make it more affordable and sustainable. Seconds, OOAKs, estate sales, unravelling thrift finds, etc. If I was listening to all the yarn shops and designers I follow, I would have a collection of 250$ sweaters! (I’m not saying I don’t have any mind you…)
