Rainbow Plain Janes
"What a great idea - going to try the same thing out of all the colors, etc. yarns I have and see what I can come up with. Right now about 2/3 way thru another 8 x 56 (7 squares) strip that's sort of "Kente Cloth" inspired."

Carroll Bracken replied to Leanna Foshe's discussion Is my contribution good enough?"Leanna,

Carroll Bracken replied to P. Jeanne Haessler's discussion Making thin yarn work up thicker...."I only knit, not crochet, but have no trouble finding the stitches (unless I completey drop one, and then it's a disaster!).

- Thanks for your comment under Laurie's Inspiration photo. I had more or less come to that conclusion - I have started doing some Kente squares but already I know I won't last. I'm on square three and already I'm realising that not only will I run out of yarn but it will probably be a relief to do so. I think I just have to settle for being a butterfly brain but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. Whatever gets the squares made is the most important thing I suppose.Delete Comment
