Ever had a lump of Handspun yarn, but don’t know what you’d make with it??

Please check out a few of these ideas:

There’s also this wonderful site which lists 653 patterns for yardage between 1 and 285 yards! http://simpleknits.blogspot.com/2008/03/500-patterns-to-knit-with-1-285-yards.html

I know this is just a scratch in the surface of ideas.  If you’ve got a favorite– send it this way.  I am making a resource page to the right where they can all live together, just begging for that next hunk of yarn.  The Holidays are coming after all.  Did I just say that?

I approved this message.

G’nite!  Dawn
