I think its a great idea to have some patterns categorized in this way. So often Ive had a stash of a particular yarn and wanted to make something with it, but all the patterns I found seemed to be for much different weights. Yes, I realize I should be able to figure out how to use a different yarn by working up a swatch and comparing the tension etc, but how much easier it would be to have a group of patterns written specifically for the weight of yarn I have on hand?
