Nice to keep in touch with people the way you have chosen. I admire that. Although I am not into this craft, my Grandmother was and wow did she make some nice things.
Kind Regards,

I need some help with the Belize Wrap. I purchased the natural caron country yarn to make this wrap. I do not understand the instructions for the swirl motif. Please explain. My question is when the instructions say to drop the color and put the loop on a pin, to join the other color are they together or do I make separate strips. Help!!!!!!
Cari,
This is gorgeous yarn and patterns. I have been wondering if they make a yarn like this with metalics or shiny stuff through it. It would be beautiful if they did . These yarn colors, I love. Do you know of any yarn like that, I am looking for? Thank you I love this website.
