[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn Shopping

Tue Sep 11 14:44:15 UTC 2012

Yes, I have done the same thing. I have not bought yarn since January - 
until about 2 weeks ago when I bought the yellow and gold yarn for my 
steeler scarves, and then the three yarns for the Double Basket Weave 
scarves I am now knitting. It is fun to work from stash! I love the 
challenge and the surprises that happen.
