Cascade Knitting Yarn
What can I knit with 12 50g balls of Patons Cascade Double knitting yarn?
I bought 12 balls of this amazing greenish color yarn at a charity shop for jusy 4pounds. The packaging says it's double knit weight. It looks almost like French knitting; that is to say it's like a very finely tube knitted ribbon. Shiny and silky to the touch. 64% Viscose and 36% nylon. There are no suggestions for patterns on the labels (either inside or out).
What size needles would I use (maybe a 4mm)?? And just what would I make with it??
In addition, I have done some looking and it seems really difficult to find the actual yarn I bought. I went to the Patons page, but couldn't find anything that looks like it. I figured maybe the color was discontinued, but there's nothing with that name "Cascade" or that has the same texture.

I did a search on the patons web site for the yarn weight, and this is the suggested size. there are also free patterns on the site based on the yarn weight. even if you cannot find the exact yarn, you should find something based on the weight. i also suggest that you knit a swatch, just in case the gauge is not quite right.

Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn
I've got about 8 ounces of worsted weight tricolor cotton yarn. What should I knit?
The yarn is pink, yellow and orange. I'm not sure what to make. I bought it intending to make socks, but I couldn't find a pattern for worsted weight socks that doesn't come out humongous.
Anyway, Anyone have any good patterns? I have like four little skeins of this stuff and I don't know what to make. Suggestions please?
Did you try this pattern: http://www.kraemeryarns.com/patterns/pdfs/ttw_anklesocks.pdf ? The socks come out normal on size 5 needles.
How about a tiny top? Summer's coming! Here's a backless top that would look great at the beach: http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/Rib-Knitted%20Backless%20Top.htm Or a more covered-up one: http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTasana.html.
Maybe a hat? http://www.lanagrossa.com/service/mdm/07_2007/index.html Or check out the mother lode at http://www.knittingpatterncentral.com/directory/hats.php

Hand Knitting Yarn
How can I remove odor's from a wool hand knit item?
I am a knitter and started smoking again. To keep the smoke smell out of my yarn I keep most of it in zip lock bags in the refrigerator or freezer. Now the yarn has the smell of refrigerator or freezer. I know I can wash the washable yarn but what can I do with the wool yarn?
put it in the dryer on low heat with a dryer sheet

Silk Knitting Yarn
Wrap for my dreads....?
I need to get a silk hair wrap, or scarf to put my dreads in at night. I can knit... and was wondering if I were to make one myself using silk yarn, would that work out okay?
I've seen wraps, tams, etc. made with silk yarn so I was just wondering.
it'd be fine. I recommend doing a k2,p2 pattern to give it that extra stretch.
I also found Satin to be the best for my dreads. leaves no lint and really smoothes down the dreads and their fuzzies.
Wraps take a while getting used to so you can also try satin pillowcase.

Red Heart Knitting Yarn
Crochet and yarn question, I'm looking for your opinions.?
I've been looking around in knitting/crocheting forums and it looks like I have two strikes against me.
1. I crochet
2. I use cotton or Vanna's Choice yarn
I've come to realize that any yarn choice which comes from Red Heart (I do agree with that, it's disgusting), Lion Brand or Caron is bad. I really only use Vanna's Choice and Sugar N. Cream cotton.
I've also come to realize that crocheting is thought by many to be trashy/dorky/out of date/ ugly.
Why is this so? I'm kind of sad about that. I really don't rag on knitters.
I crochet, and there are some uses for even Red Heart yarn. I make amigurimi out of it all the time and it works perfectly. It's also great for things like dog clothes that need to hold up well but not last forever.
As for the other brands, there is nothing wrong with using them. If you find a yarn you love to touch in a color you want to use, then use it!!! There are plenty of yarn snobs in the world and the internet is one of the places they nest. Just because someone doesn't like the yarn you use does not mean there is inherently something wrong with it.
What matters in choosing a yarn is that you don't want to pick a yarn just because its what you can get by with. You want to use something you enjoy working with and will want to use the end product with. So don't make items out of yarn you hate. And don't buy expensive yarn just because someone says so when you are perfectly happy with Vanna's.
Crocheting has such a horrible wrap because of the patterns that were and are put out for it. Look at your local craft store's selection of patterns. What's there? Granny squares made into hideous vests, doilies, 5 billion ways to make an afgahn, baby clothes, and 4 books for teaching kids. Every pattern book looks like it was designed 30 years ago. Even the ones with nice new photography have the same bulky proportions on the same over-done garments as the old books. If I open one more book and it tries to tell me that a shawl is the height of both glamour and comfort, I might scream.
So what to do about this awful opinion of crochet? Ignore it. It's not anyone else's place to tell you that what you make is not cool. You like it. Who cares what they think? In fact you can change the world one person at a time by crocheting up fabulous things and showing them off.
Not everyone thinks crochet is terrible. Most people I know that don't do any yarn crafts are quite impressed that I can crochet. They don't have anything to say about what yarn I use or the fact that I can't knit. They're just intrigued that I can make yarn do something interesting. Some would say that's because they don't know any better. I like to think of it as they have an appreciation of skill of any kind.

Lion Brand Knitting Yarn
i need a knitting pattern for mittens using lion brand homespun. anyone have a good one?
i have some homespun and i want to knit some mittens. iv'e already tried the pattern on lionbrand.com and that didn't work out for me.
even if it's a pattern that calls for chunky yarn that would be fine.
Thanks everyone!
thanks for your not so help hairbender.
You can use any pattern --- you just make adjustments according to the weight of the yarn. it's not going to look good no matter what you do, since the yarn is not that great to work with. But you can keep on trying. Just do a search for knitting mitten patterns... .there are hundreds of them available for free. There is nothing complicated about mittens!

Lion Brand Yarn
What is the best way to block chenille yarn?
I am trying to make a pocket scarf with lion brand chenille yarn but I'm not sure which way to best block that type of yarn. Would it be the spray, wet blocking, or steam?
Lion Chenille hand washes, so wet-blocking works well. Dampen scarf and spread on clean towel(s) on a carpeted floor or on a bed. Ease scarf into shape, blocking to size, pinning where necessary. Allow to dry completely.
