Hello there... I was wondering if any of you can help me out? I'm looking for scraps of orange yarn. Any weight, fiber, or texture is fine, and a few meters (or less?) is fine.
See, I have a friend who likes orange. I want to knit her something for Christmas, but I was having trouble thinking of what. Then I got this really neat idea... I could knit a little stuffed orange cat, and if I changed yarn every few rows, it would look like a crazy orange stripped tabby. (I'd hold really skinny yarns together with a thicker one to prevent holes from appearing.) Do you think that would work? Would it look neat, or gawd-awful?
Problem is, I don't have a gazillion bits of leftover orange yarn in my stash. I'm not sure I want to buy balls, since I'll only be using short lengths of each.
Now, this is the second request I put on my blog recently. (I previously asked for sock yarn leftovers.) It's not nice of me to keep asking without offering something in return. I don't like being mean and selfish. So, if you have scraps you can send me, please let me know if I can send you something in return?
Hmmm... if I end up with enough scraps, maybe I can make two cats, and have a contest for the second where anyone who sends me yarn (either orange scraps or sock yarn leftovers) will be entered to win?

How neat (the contest)!
orange yarn! I think I can help you out, though some of mine is of the variegated orange-yellow variety... would that work? in any case, I will rummage through the stash. :) Since I'm collecting sock yarn scraps for you anyway, I can just include them all together! :)
Thanks! Hmmm... I think orange-yellow would work.
I don't have any orange yarn, but I hope you decide to post a pic when the wee beastie is done :-)
And thanks for helping out with the feed thing.
Sara: Of course, and not a problem! :)
how about half a skein (or more) of orange yarn? will that do?
remember the duck i was working on for my niece, back before you left chapel hill. it had orange feet and an orange beak and now i'm stuck with a whole lot of orange yarn i'll never again use. just pass it on to someone else if you have any left when you're done.
if you email me your address i can mail it to you.
Cool, Thanks! :)
Send me your snail mail address. I have some nice cotton orange from when I was making pumpkin hats.
I have some orange yarn too... I'll look thru my stash, I'd just need your addy again...;~)
I think it'll look cool.. can't wait to see it!
Half a skein of orange yarn is on its way! I stopped by the post office today on the way in to work. Enjoy!
Thanks!!
Let me know if you still need some orange, I can help you out! I need to thin my stash in preparation for my move anyway, so e-mail me your address if you want! :)
