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

[Henry Osborne]

Melanie, I'm currently finishing up a needle knitted scarf and crocheting a 
simple scarf with the Hometown USA brand of yarn. I like the softness and 
thickness of it.

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.
