Thanks for the encouragement. I went online to check out cheap sources for yarn and found myself making my own yarn out of old tshirts. It won't work for the socks really but I can do a fun cardigan for my daughter with it and a grocery tote for my mom.
What is the link for making yarn out of old t- shirts? This is something I could definitely do!
I love knitting, but the only things I've knitted so far are scarves and blankets. I love that it keeps my hands busy while watching T.V. or waiting for...whatever.
