I am just learning to knit. My first knitting project is a scarf. 🙂 I have crocheted for years and have been working on expanding my knowledge. Only knew the granny square most of those years though. lol. It is super exciting to me to “teach an old dog new tricks” so-to-speak. It helps tremendously with my anxiety and ptsd but can be rough on the carpal tunnel. So far I like to make blankets lots of blankets, scarves, hats, teddy bears, snowman heads, ornaments, c2c graphs, fingerless gloves, pot holders, doggy sweater and shawls. There is still so much to learn and so many patterns to choose from though lol. And yes 90% of my yarn stash is Red Heart. Been using Red Heart for nearly 30 years! To win this really would be a dream come true. But if not I promise I will still buy this yarn when I am able… P.S. Could your company possibly consider a yarn vault type thing… You guys have such great yarn and a few times it was discontinued due to seasons… Maybe y’all could keep those on the back burner somewhere and every once in awhile do a re-release (Like Circus Print) just an idea. 🙂 Thnx 🙂
Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.
