[Nfb-krafters-korner] Christmas in July

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I was going to ask if the yarn might be available on sale, after Christmas.  I also have a lot of holiday sparcle yarn.  It has been around for a long time.  I have found the sparcle ravles, when working.  Is it bad quality.  I think it is red and silver and green and silver.  
We need to choose, now what we are going to make, so we can prepare.  I know I am going to make snow flakes and hopefully stars for gifts and for my brand new tree.  
I would like to learn how to knit an easy stocking.  All knit or knit and perl.  
What other items can be knitted for a beginner?
Terry

I love the idea as well and at least for yarn...I often go out right after Christmas and find great deals on holiday yarns.
Just a thought.
