Twenty pounds of yarn
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know what 20 pounds of yarn looks and feels like? Well, I do now. Back in July, Janise gave me the address of Coats and Clark to send them a letter stating that I did charity crocheting for Project Linus. I did that and thought nothing of it again. Yesterday while DH and I were mowing and raking leaves, the UPS man drove up and handed me a big box. In it was 20 pounds of yarn from them. I took it out and put it on the table last night and I have 64 skeins of lovely yarn, some solid colors and some variegated. Most of it is worsted weight and is either 6 or 8 oz skeins. What a treasure of yarn and with my new crochet books I have plenty of ideas for afghans for charity. Hugs, Nora |

What a heart-warming (pun intended!) story! It's so nice to hear about a corporation that supports an individual's charity work. Sounds like you have enough yarn to keep you busy for a while!

Hi Nora,
That was a very uplifting story you wrote. You do so many nice things for people, with secret projects and charity work, that I cannot think of a more deserving person to receive such a nice package. I am sure there are many who will benefit and you will have great pleasure in creating and giving. Congrats! Diane ************************** "NoraBalcer" wrote in message ...
