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...)
