"Ah, that's how they're made! I remember making pinwheels like this when I was a kid but I couldn't remember how to attach the pinwheel to the pencil. I did remember using a pencil, though! So I am going to have to make a few for the 4th of July. Is there a way to make them so they would be safe for kids to play with?"

"These are definitely funky and fun flip-flops! And they look like they would be fun to make, too. I bet my granddaughters would get a kick out of these, or something like them, anyway. Since she used a bandanna, I think any cotton or cotton fabric would do just as well as long as it isn't too limp."

"I totally love this idea. It is an excellent way for me to display some of the wonderful messages from t-shirt graphics out there. I love a lot of these messages but feel like I'm getting to an age where they aren't what I want to wear. Carrying bags with funny or meaningful quips is a lot more desirable to me."

"That would make a great Christmas gift, too, and not just for Mom! I have two daughters, a daughter in law and two granddaughers (the ones old enough) who would appreciate this. You just made Christmas a little bit easier for me this year. And I will make some for myself, of course."

"The link takes you to the "home page" of the blog, but I couldn't find the colored glitter pencils on the site. I looked for awhile but gave up. It's either a bad link or the page isn't there any longer. I thought the granddaughters would enjoy these pencils but I may never know! )"

Deborah Norville Everyday Yarn

It's hard to believe, but yes it's true - this is 100% acrylic yarn and yet it's so amazingly soft that it doesn't even compare to normal acrylic yarn. Other yarn has a tendency to pill and wear down, but the Deborah Norville Collection has anti-pilling qualities which will leave your crochet projects in tact and looking wonderful. With over 30 solid colors and over 20 incredibly gorgeous prints, this yarn collection is perfect for a variety of projects.

With so many colors to choose from, the variegated yarn will create a gorgeous afghan that changes colors as you go in a fabulous color scheme. Everyday yarn is machine washable and dryable which is why the anti-pilling quality of this yarn is so great. Medium worsted acrylic yarn just doesn't get much better than this!

Many other yarns tend to suck the moisture out of your hands while working with it, but Everyday yarn doesn't do such a thing. Some have noticed that it is difficult to find the end piece to begin working with the skein of yarn, but if you have a little patience you'll be able to get started in no time. From hats and mitts to scarves and afghans this yarn will allow you to make a magnitude of crochet patterns.
