Default Ugly wools

Thanks for the suggestion, Nora. I'm not sure I have enough for a scarf
but I may just use Tamar's suggestion for a hat to donate!

Hi Laura,

Make yourself a scarf with it. That is what I ended up doing, using
large knitting needles and about ten stitches and garter stitch.

Liz and Sue, I know find I don't have as many hand pains if I stick to
the N size crochet hook. I can use smaller, but do like the bigger one.

Hugs,

Nora

Add me to the list of people who can't stand it! I have about 3/4 of a
skein left and am wondering what little project I can do just to use it
up.
I was thinking maybe some reusable baby wipes or washcloths but wasn't
sure
if acrylic would work for that.


Make a stocking hat: on appropriately large needles, knit a tube;
when you run out of yarn, draw the yarn through and tighten. Then
donate the hat to a good cause.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just may do this...
