WOULD THE HONOR SYSTEM WORK FOR YARN?

By -


This is the only little stand in our town of 50,000 people that uses the honor system. I think it is refreshing. I wondered, however when I saw it this morning....
would it work if it was yarn? Anyone willing to try it?


I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

I love it! I'm not sure it would work with yarn. Many people value yarn differently and wouldn't know the difference between a $3 and a $30 skein of yarn - I'm sad to say.

But I love the tomato honor system. Yummy!

I love it!! I'll bet those tomatoes are yummy. I think it would work with yarn. Yarn people are good people and would be fair and honest. On the other hand, DH says I'm something of a Pollyanna.

makes me think of... when we were kids... houses that had no one home for halloween, so they would leave a big bowl of candy out and ask you to grab just one...

I would participate in an honors-system yarn table, but prooobably wouldn't sponsor one.

lol, i like your way of thinking. I think, like anything it would depend on the person. i like to think knitters are honest folk! :)

It depends on how it works. I think it it says $X per, it might, but if it is pay what you think it is worth, then that is too difficult for even an honest person to deal with.

Funny someone mentioned Halloween. Once when my daughter was little, someone had done that - put out a bowl of candy assuming kids would take something. My daughter wouldn't take one - she thought it was stealing. I couldn't convince her it was OK - that that was why the person had left it since either they weren't home or didn't want kids to keep ringing the bell.

Elaine your daughter's halloween experience is darling!

Sarah, I hadn't thought of the Halloween angle. Hysterical. We always leave a bowl and it is always empty! THis year I am going to rig up a fake video camera that goes off when you take the whole bowl! Scare the you know what out of them! hahah I love halloween.

I'm glad it works for the tomatoes, but for yarn? Hmmmm..

It would probably work very well with Red Heart (heh) but not so much with Malabrigo....

Awww, I'm so coveting those tomatoes! And yarn? Why of course it would work. Aren't we knitters all quite virtuous folks ;-)?

If you take a drive down 173 just b4 Richmond, there is another little farm stand/everything else including the best ever honey, that works on the honor system. Mrs G ran it that way and now her daughter does also.

I wish I could say intregrity is something that all people posessed.

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
