Looks like I have used 37 of the yarns and only would never use 4 again.
That's a pretty o.k. ratio.
I don't make socks, so that lets me out of most of the yarns I haven't used yet.
My problem with this meme is that Meema already tagged the knitters that I know, and I don't know if you can tag someone that you don't know. Would that be rude?
I guess I'll wait for some divine inspiration on that one.
If anyone has done one of these or would like to join in on this one please leave me a comment.
Have a great sunday.
Jess.

  1. You could tag me and tmkr. :) I've probably used like 2 of them if that. :) I started a group on Ravelry. I invited you. There is also loopylape and one of tmkr's friends.... Feel free to invite anyone else you want to. I'm trying to figure out the feather and fan pattern so I can make a few blankets. :)

  2. Yeah, what Krista said. I was like "what, you don't know us???" Maybe that's a subtle hint or something... ;)
