Absorba the Great
I could not wait to sink my needles into this project! It is not as difficult to work the five strands of worsted cotton as I thought it would be. This is how much I got out of one set of balls (2 oz. each). It is about 13 inches square, and half-way through the fifth strip. It seems my binding-off is just a touch on the tight side, but that should block out pretty well. I wanted to buy the 1 lb. cones for my next one, but I like the way the five strands of the varigated are dancing through the strips. I guess it will depend on the look I'm trying to achieve, as well as if the colors I want are available during the next $0.99 or $1.00 sale.
