[NFB-Krafters-Korner] funny thing has happened

[Bernice Bird]

Thanks everybody. I think I will double the yarn and make a throw for the kids. I think I will have someone read the label, and pair it with another color.

Bernice,

How about a summer challet? It’s a small shawl that just goes around the shoulders when one is wearing something sleeveless. Since your yarn is light-weight and yellow it would be perfect for summer wearing.
Or how about a spring bonnet, for Easter perhaps?
Make flowers and fit them together for a summer throw or bedspread.



May God bless you.
