Online Yarn Sale -- Suggestions?
Hi everybody!
I got an email from Smiley's that informed me of a special they were running on Lion Brand Homespun yarn...only $1.99 a skein! I thought I'd make an afghan out of it. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what pattern I should use? The yarn is very curly and would not do well with lace...however I'd like something interesting none the less. I'm open to knit or crochet ideas (but no squares, please!). If you guys want to take a look, here's the link: http://www.pagelinx.com/cgi-shopper/...ezshopper?user _id=id&file=mailer8-04.htm Thanks for your help! Allaya |

Hmmm...I guess you're right...I've actually never worked with this yarn
before, so I'm not sure how detailed I can get with it...I guess I just assumed that I needed to pick a stitch that would showcase the yarn more than any sort of knitting skill...although I'd be too bored if I just did garter stitch. I was thinking of doing Sea Foam on big needles. Do you think it will show up? "Sonya Cirillo" wrote in message ... Allaya: Before completely dismissing Homespun and a lace pattern - check out their free Diamond Shawl pattern. . . I made a shawl with another lace pattern and this yarn for DD and it came out very nice. Not saying that you *should* do a lace pattern - just that this yarn surprisingly works rather well with lace patterns. What probablly won't work too well is 'fancy' pattern stitches - ones that depend on the texture of the stitch, ie. cables or any of the ones that make use of the difference between knit and purl. . . they will disappear, somewhat, into the texture of the yarn. Actually with this yarn - I wouldn't bother - if I didn't want a lacey one - I'd just knit or garter stitch it straight on largish needles so that it's texture, softness and varegated colors are the main show. Good luck - I'm positive you'll find the perfect idea!!! Sonya Allaya Diep wrote: Hi everybody!
