"I love this project so I researched the yarn. I find that Naturally Caron Country yarn comes in 3 oz skeins. I saw nothing larger for that exact kind. I am highly sensitive to color dye lot errors and always be sure to buy enough when making a purchase, even when buying the "NO DYE LOT " yarns as I know they are not always the same. I query if the recommended yarn allotment will actually be sufficient or if a larger skein was used. It would be so helpful if the yarn that is recommended for a project was also listed by ounces (oz) and/or yards."

"This could also be made using an image of a bird or an animal instead of a letter. This has given me some ideas for my seniors group )"

"How do you do this, print with no writing on it. I print patterns that are written free also, but patterns are no good or have images over them."

"Are you sick of your kids’ (or your own) backpacks getting soaked every time it rains? Repurpose a broken umbrella into a clever backpack rain cover, and you'll never have a drenched backpack again! It only takes about 15 minutes to sew with minimal sewing skills. You can fold it up into a lightweight and compact package so that you can carry it with you in your bag! This project is perfect for kids who are going to school and also for adults who commute. Make one for each member of your family and for all of your friends!"
