Does anyone know those yarn containers with the notched holes in the top to keep your yarn from rolling away...well I've obtained one without going to the store and recycling something that I have around the house. Before throwing them away, keep the plastic clorox wipe dispensers. Rinse it out and take the label off. I covered mine with scraps of scrapbook paper but you can decorate them however you want or leave them plain. Then just thread the yarn through the top and it works like a dream and didn't cost anything!!! I can't wait to finish my current box of wipes (it is a turquoise color) so that I can make another one. I'm so handy!!! One more tip...I was also able to put my work in the dispenser because it was a small project and I was using short double pointed needles...so it is easier to transport your yarn and projects in as well!!!
I went to the University of Central Florida for my Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice...our mascot is the pegasus...here is the blanket I made for our annual charity auction along with the purchaser...Angela, our former president of the co-ed fraternity I attended...Lambda Alpha Epsilon.
I made this one for myself...this is my favorite Red Heart color...Dk Plum...but of course I can't find it anywhere local, I am also unwilling to pay 4 bucks for a ball of yarn that is acrylic no matter what color it is and I only have a tiny, itty bitty ball left for very special small projects.
I made this one for my boyfriend for his birthday...this is almost an exact replica of the guitar that he plays...the neck is a little longer on this one than his but the detail is amazing if I do say so myself. 
I made this Hello Kitty for one of my friends who loves Hello Kitty...I was really proud of this one when I finally finished.
