Here are some fun and/or silly patterns to getcha in the mood for the season…

Our Afghans for Us group recently participated in a Yarn Tasting: each participant purchased one ball of yarn and divided it up into 10 yard lengths–just enough to knit up a small swatch and see how you like it. We all then exchanged them do you ended up with a bunch of different samples of yarn from everyone else. Kind of a “try before you buy” dealie, all for the cost of one ball of yarn.

This concept isn’t new, of course, but here’s a convenient way to get similar results: the Yarn of the Month Club! See details here
