How much would you spend on average for a scarf??i usually knit with cotton mixed with wool which costs about 5 dollars for 100g
Cover it with water in a deep roasting pan and let it BOIL, plain and simple
The other day, I juiced 1 lemon, 1 lime and grated a little of each fruits skin, combined that with pepper and used it as a marinadeI tenderised the chicken breast (Using the meat hammer), put it into a bowl with the marinade and refrigerated it for 30mins-1hour and then baked uncovered in a shallow tray in the oven for about 40 minutesI turned the chicken halfway through the cooking time and put small cuts in it once it had cooked a little bit so I could monitor how well it was cookingOnce it is cooked through the middle it should brown slightlyThe juices give it a really good flavour, it's healthy and easy to makeAs a less healthy alternative, I did the same but fried the chicken and juice in butter in a fry pan, and it tasted like BBQ lemon chicken and was a little crispy on the outsideEither way it tastes amazing.
If you recycle the yarn by unraveling an old garment from a thrift store it can be very cheapI have made scarves from free yarn that people gave me, from very cheap yarn that I bought at thrift stores, and I have also spent from $3.00 up to about $15.00 per skein, depending on the type of yarnLately I favor recycling, only because it is so easy, so cheap, and there are so many beautiful fibers going to waste in thrift storesI recently made a sweater for my little niece from a wool and cotton blend sweater I got for about $2.00She loves it and people stop her mom in stores to ask about the sweaterIt is the Elizabeth Zimmerman Tomten sweater, with the hoodI have some purple lambs wool, very light, almost laceweight, that I frogged from a sweater I got for a dollarI am thinking of making socks, or maybe the pattern called flower basket shawl I probably have enough yarn for the shawl and socks too Now I hope to teach a non-credit evening class in yarn recycling at my local school districtI think this is the way to go if you like to use wool and other nice yarns but don't want to spend a lot.
