[Nfb-krafters-korner] Want to Know Wednesday 1/31/18

The ladies at church make lap blankets and shawls, out of scraps of yarn.
I think I would do a lap blanket.  I would rather have a shawl of all the same yarn!

Oh wow Henry that would explain why when I went to Michael’s last month and couldn’t find Hometown USA anywhere. What a bummer. I love that yarn I make slouchy hat and a big cushy scarves out of it all the time. Now I have a bunch of Hometown USA scraps and I’m trying to figure out how to use them.
