"I love this project so I researched the yarn. I find that Naturally Caron Country yarn comes in 3 oz skeins. I saw nothing larger for that exact kind. I am highly sensitive to color dye lot errors and always be sure to buy enough when making a purchase, even when buying the "NO DYE LOT " yarns as I know they are not always the same. I query if the recommended yarn allotment will actually be sufficient or if a larger skein was used. It would be so helpful if the yarn that is recommended for a project was also listed by ounces (oz) and/or yards."

"This could also be made using an image of a bird or an animal instead of a letter. This has given me some ideas for my seniors group )"

"How do you do this, print with no writing on it. I print patterns that are written free also, but patterns are no good or have images over them."
