sallykate Jan 2024 5:37pm, 19 Jan 2024 13,144 posts	0 sallykate I have finally decided what to make with the lovely yarn which was part of my FSS gift - I'm going to crochet a virus shawl. With two skeins I reckon it'll be lovely and big
EvilPixie Jan 2024 5:39pm, 19 Jan 2024 50,924 posts	0 EvilPixie I really need to start doing something with my huge stash (mainly sock yarn) as I know I won't sell it (too lazy! 🤣) so might as well use it!

sallykate Jan 2024 7:05pm, 19 Jan 2024 13,146 posts	0 sallykate I think there are a few - this is what I'm going to do: ravelry.com . No idea why it's called virus! Not desperately reminiscent of beer, moules frites or the ability to function without a government but I like it...
EvilPixie Jan 2024 8:05pm, 19 Jan 2024 50,932 posts	0 EvilPixie Advice please! This is now just over 2 years old The fabric is wearing through in places. What’s the cheapest way to revamp? RIP off current fabric and tack on new? Should I glue too? Would pva work? Thank you!
