Thanks to all for this warm reception. My big problem now is that I went crazy when a local craft store went out of business and I bought $300-$400 on yarn. When you consider that it was 75% off, you can imagine what a stash I have. It is all acrylic fiber and a medium 4. I purchased 3/4 skeins of each color. If you have any suggestions for projects please offer. I have no small choldren and no grandchildren. Do have a great nephew and a great niece. I like the KISS paterns (Keep it simple sweets). Will probably donate the finished projects. Thanks in advance for your generous help.
