That's why we know how to substitute yarns! I may have to follow in your footsteps and make that cowl -- I actually know all those stitches, and it looks like a great first non-rectangular project.Elizabeth Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019916259737155294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-40699012735157875512012-02-16T08:01:56.558-06:002012-02-16T08:01:56.558-06:00lynda-

You can always google a yarn to get more information if you need it, too.<br /><br />Also, since you are knitting toys, gauge is always important, but there is more leeway to be slightly off on the gauge because it doesn't have to fit anyone. Your toy might be a little smaller or bigger in the end if you use different weight yarns.<br /><br />Have fun with your toy knitting!<br />SusanSusan B.

However, I can not find any reference to yarn weight on any project except the sock yarn ones. When I google the suggested yarns, they vary from worsted through fingering weight. Are the directions specific for the weight of yarn you used, or can a different weight be used and still turn out OK? Thanks for your help.

I have a skein of handspun cashmere that has been in the "permanent stash category" for a long, long time because it was too precious to use on just anything.

Because I realized I would NEVER buy a pair of pre-made socks that cost as much as the yarn, and then I still had to spend hours making them! One lady wanted me to make some for her to buy, but I told her they would be more than $500 so she declined! :)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521624544793584976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35689847.post-74165991078485855312012-02-14T07:13:41.257-06:002012-02-14T07:13:41.257-06:00I love the colours of those socks, so bright, so c...I love the colours of those socks, so bright, so cheerful!
