Now this one i LIKE! I always forget about my option of substituting a chunky yarn for two worsted strands of my choice. Do you know how many other color combinations you could come up with by doing this? You can really be your own yarn designer! I often use the pebble stitch, most recently in dishcloths and hot pads. It creates a wonderful texture!

I love the idea of using two quite different strands of yarn together to work up this project. You can get such unique color combinations that way, too! The hats nice, but what really caught my eye was that yarn card. I have so many brands and colors of yarn that its hard to keep up. And its horrible to try matching under fluorescent lights in the stores. I think Ill organize mine by color families.
