[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Looking for self-striping yarn

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Annette;
Can you send me your patern for making a blanket, corner to corner, on needles.  I saw one somewhere on this list and can not find it.  
Thanks.

Well, I am sort of open on that.  However, I do not work with sock or lace weight.  I cannot remember how thick Sport weight is, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to use it or not.  I'm pretty sure that worsted weight up to bulky are within the range that I can work with.  At this point I do not have a pattern picked out as I wanted to identify yarn options first.  However, I do have thoughts of using self-striping yarn with a pattern knitted from corner to corner.  When done, the stripes would be running diagonally across the blanket.  I've also wanted to do another entraloc baby blanket, but these new mom's don't give me enough notice to have time to do it.

Annette, what weight of yarn are you wanting to use?
