[Nfb-krafters-korner] Stash Busters

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Ninn:

I know its sparkley, but I was just wondering if I could substitute with the 
Vanna's Glamour from Lion Brand which is a sport weight and also is a 
sparkely yarn.  I think I'll stick with your recommendation.  Red Heart can 
be weird because sometimes it is very scratchy and other times not too bad. 
When I made the slipper shoes in Gail's class it was pretty soft.  I don't 
know if it has to do with the color or using it double stranded.  I know 
last winter I made a shawl out of it for my prayer shawl group and I was not 
happy with the end result because it was not at all soft.  Talk later.

Eileen

>> Hello everyone,
>>
>>
>>
>> I hope you all had a great weekend!  I know we have all been talking 
>> about
>> stash busting and abstaining from buying more yarn, but .
>>
>>
>>
>> Put those sharp needles down and don't start throwing things at me, but.
>>
>>
>>
>> I am teaching an intermediate knitting  class on the color work technique
>> called Intarsia in early December.  We will be making a Christmas Gift
>> bag.
>> It is a little work of art and I know you will all love it, but.
>>
>>
>>
>> Well, to maximize the beauty of this little treasure, I recommend you buy
>> a
>> particular yarn that may soon be sold out.  By the time I found out about
>> it
>> last year, even the warehouse was on back order!  It is a seasonal item
>> and
>> it is in your stores and on-line now, but.
>>
>>
>>
>> You will have to break your commitment to your stash for just a little
>> while
>> longer - we were talking 2011, weren't we?  (smile)
>>
>>
>>
>> If you think you might like to join us in the class, attached is my
>> recommendation for yarn - of course if you have any holiday yarn in your
>> stash and prefer to use it, that is fine, but.
>>
>>
>>
>> You will only need two colors, your choice - one for the bag and one for
>> the
>> tree.  Not too much of a transgression, right!
>>
>>
>>
>> I have attached a file that will give you the particulars for purchasing
>> your yarn either in store or on-line.  Joyce said she was able to order
>> her's on Ebay, which is another option.
>>
>>
>>
>> I promise.
>>
>> All purchases will stay confidential - what happens in the "stash" stays
>> in
>> the stash (wink)
