Thankfully there are plenty of nice acrylics out there. <br /><br />And I guess I shouldnt complain abt gas here, it's $3.69 BUT it went up $.15 in a couple of hours!

Beautiful autumn tree-lined street. And although I am sorry that you are having an unpleasant reaction to wool, I have to say you told the story well; I got quite a chuckle out of the possible excuses to buy acrylic rather than the more expensive wools. Using the price of gas as an excuse is...well, priceless.
