I got wool for my daughter a cardigan, and for leg warmers. I also got huge balls of arran weight wool for crocheting thick blankets.<BR/>One of my sons is leaving home and I guess a few blankets would not go a miss.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420490755338984402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20378232.post-1156562000416835072006-08-26T00:13:00.000-03:002006-08-26T00:13:00.000-03:00Shelley thank you so much for your help on the but...Shelley thank you so much for your help on the buttons.

Forgot about that. Thanks for your comment about the embossing. I do have the embossing powder etc. That is fun to do. I hope I've called my raised letters with the stylus the right name...embossing. not sure. I see you are starting a knit-a-long. That should be fun. I've never knit gloves or mittens. Mittens maybe I could do..but maybe not too..grin.Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.com
