However, I am now finishing up my first project to donate: a watch cap. Next will be a helmet, then maybe a couple of scarves. Am happy to find out that we CAN use more than one color in our projects (knitting all the same color is SO boring!) but to be in "good taste" for men or women. I understand. Plan to offer this project to my fellow Curves members, and also at our blog spot. Maybe more knit/crocheted items will follow from that. I hope so. I think it's a wonderful project, serving people who are often forgotten about but who work very hard in unforgiving circumstances. Thanks for offering it to us.

It's very soft and came out great. What a great project this is! I’ll make a hat or scarf in the Manos and send it with the hat and scarf I just finished in Cascade 220 Superwash.

A package will follow soon...I hope they'll all o.k. Thank you....

It's good to know that I can use leftover yarn so long as I can make the stripes a deliberate design element. Thanks so much for the clarification!
