Some years ago I was given boxes of yarn, mostly 4ply on cones from a friend whose machine-knitting wife had dies. I've used bits now and again but fairly half-heartedly until I joined TAS. Now I'm knitting crazy. I have a waistcoat for me on hold while I make a matinee jacket for my new granddaughter due next month but that is now on hold. I want to knit pocketed scarves for my older granddaughters for Christmas. The pattern says super chunky yarn and I figure that equates to about 8 strands of four ply. I have spent this evening winding the yarn into balls then winding two or three balls together. Wish I still had my spinning wheel, then I could have plied them together.
