Loving the idea of this knitting community. It seems awful quiet though (as far as drops go, I mean). Is there anything we as members can help to get the ball rolling on amazing yarns, notions, patterns, kits, etc.?

Yes, you can definitely use this yarn to make a blanket. 

I would suggest to search on www.ravelry.com for a queen size blanket pattern you that uses bulky weight yarn, then divide the yardage required by the 90 yards per skein in this product. Personally, I usually buy an extra skein to accommodate for any unforeseen mistakes or disasters (I'm fairly new to knitting and have three cats who love "helping").

What are your summer knitting projects?

It seems like summer is too warm to think about knitting sweaters and scarfs. Do you switch to smaller projects like pillows? Or maybe you're more organized then me and begin to think about what you want to make for holiday gifts. Personally...

As an experienced crocheter and beginner knitter, I'm just getting over myself that it's called knitting and not yarncraft or something. 

I think the drops requested in the polls are by and large more what you're talking about and what people would buy: a bunch of yarn, enough to make a specific pattern, but nobody's tying you down with notions and patterns.

Less acrylic content?

My girlfriend loves to knit, and I'd like to get her knitting stuff. But she hates acrylic and sticks to wool, alpaca, cotton, and blends. Do you think you might go to more natural yarns on mass drop, and less acrylic?

Not sewing or quilting, but I've got knitting on my mind again! I just knit this fox hood/hat for a family member - started Jan 1 and finished Jan 3 (and yes, that is a roll of paper towels that I'm using as a mannequin head). I'm going to be doing a sweater or shawl soon as soon as soon as I can commit to a pattern!

I didn't want to have to seem this pattern for a hobo bag so I knit in the round and the straps were added on with me running an needle thru the number of stitches to be able to start knitting them

A chevron-filet crocheted scarf in worsted weight that's about 1/3 of the way done. I taught a class on this pattern and started this project to work along with the class. I'm in love with the way the variegated yarn is working up!
