For the knitters

My friend is cleaning out her dad's house. Dad is in his 90s and went to assisted living. Friend said "I found a basket of yarn and stuff that was my mom's. Do you want it?" Of course I said yes. I'm just sorting through it and found 2 skeins of 100% worsted wool, knitting weight. Each skein is 3/4 oz. The price on the label?? 15 cents! This must be from the 1960s.

So what do I do with 2 skeins of wool, each weighing less than an ounce? One skein is called melon but is red, the other is green. Obviously Christmas colors. What can I knit that is easy??? And small.

A couple of websites to check for free patterns: Lion Brand Yarn (www.lionbrand.com) or Ravelry (www.ravelry.com). You may need to create a login for these, but I've never been spammed by them.

Here's a link to Lion for some cabled wrist warmers: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/60157AD.html Maybe make one in each color? :lmt:

And a 2-color scarf: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/L10487.html

Just take the time to check your gauge before you start. Have fun!
