Do you like to design knitting patterns? If yes, then we'd like to invite you to design a pattern for the Newsletter.

It can be any item; socks, hat, bag, scarf, sweater, you name it. The only requirement is... it Must be made with OPAL Yarn in it's entirety. You may use another yarn as an applique or trim. But the overall item has to be knit in OPAL.

Submit your pattern[s] and a picture of your finished item to us at:

    Pet Tails. . . . . .

    We hear so many stories about cats having fun with balls of yarn.
    What we don't hear much about or associate with yarn are dogs. Here's my story:

    I have 2 Pomeranians, Munchkin and Kizzy who just so happen to love yarn balls, skeins and hanks. They love to grab my yarn and run through all 5 rooms of my house leaving yarn trails everywhere. My husband thinks it's funny watching me rewind the yarn while mumbling to myself. I can't tell you how many times I've had to do this while my 2 girls just sit there smiling at me with their little tongues hanging out happy as can be.

    To keep my sanity, I just tell myself that this is giving me a chance to check for knots. SIGH!
    ...Gail

    I made a beautiful 6 foot scarf out of Fun Fir for my DGD. I put it on the dining room table, so I'd remember to give it to her. Well, it was gone the next day. I finally found it behind my recliner in the bedroom!

    Needless to say, I haven't got it to DGD yet. My cat (Sunshine) loves any kind of yarn! I have to keep it all up and sealed. That doesn't always work, either.

    If you have a favorite pet tail (Tale) share it. If we print it, you'll get a PRIZE. Send em to: PET TAILS

    QUESTION:
    Why did the Opal yarn cross the road?

    ANSWER:
    Because the pattern said to YO.
