A TV ad for a magazine subscription for The Art of Crochet, entices readers to join up and crochet a throw, says Leanne Schou. "The initial magazine is $3.99, with subsequent issues at $9.99 and each week you get wool and instructions for each square. But wait! The small print explains that there are 120 issues, so that's 2.3 years to complete the throw, costing a whopping $1192.80!" (NZ Herald)
