Hello from Mississippi! I mostly use acrylic; cotton for potholders and dish clothes. I've used a bamboo blend for scarves that had a really nice feel and drape.

Cute unicorn!

Hello from Mississippi! Practice is what it takes. In no time you be making all kinds of things.

That's the kind of "I forgot" that I like. LOL

I'm on the last round of Mary's sweater and have used 4 skeins, so I'm back to 0.

Hello from Mississippi! For several years now we've had a number of young men from South Africa come to our area as farm workers. We rented a house to a farmer for two of his employees for about three years and they were very nice, polite fellows--very good representatives for your country.
