Only if they're buying red yarn

That's the only one for schizoboarding

Damnit Johnson what's this?

I'm sorry sir, all Michael's had was this teal/green variegated Marino wool yarn.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

You're using marino on the board? Christy I'm relegated to acrylics or even string I salvaged from the bottom of the yarn basket.

Hey now, knitting is not boring! I’m fun! I’m fun, right? Right?…

[–] DosDude@retrofed.com 14 points 4 days ago

First of all, who cares? As long as you enjoy it. Second, at least you have a hobby. Many people don't, so bask in your superiority.

Awww thanks! I think you are cool too.

My hobbies aren’t boring :(

A Michael's once tried to charge me $7 for discounted yarn clearly marked $5. I haven't been to one since, and I encourage y'all to do the same >:(

Or are experts in bird law

if they're spending money at Michael's, land of grossly overpriced products, they're probably solving murders or very new to the hobby

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or live in any art supply desert like me. My other local options are Walmart and Hobby Lobby.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

the US is weird like that, eh

around here, if you have a Michael's, you have five other smaller/privately owned options nearby. and if you don't have a Michael's, you pretty much only have small private shops to buy from. you just gotta find them.
