I think Igawa and Acorn are where I would like to start, but lots of them are intriguing to me. Very oversized. Sorry, I don't know how to do links.

If you put it in several rows below where you're working, it shouldn't get in your way and if you did drop the stitch and it started running, it could only run but so far. You'd just need to move it up (or add a second one for double safety) ever so often.Allisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49031325782345627802017-02-06T13:42:19.195+00:002017-02-06T13:42:19.195+00:00You have sparked some ideas for me - I have a coup...You have sparked some ideas for me - I have a couple of sets of superwash gradients.

I believe it was designed for sets of mini skeins. Maybe it uses less yarn in stockinette than in garter?<br /><br />http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tulips-a-colorful-cardigan-for-baby<br /><br />LisaRRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26121476702543613382017-02-06T08:20:34.079+00:002017-02-06T08:20:34.079+00:00Why not alternate one packet of unicorn tails with...Why not alternate one packet of unicorn tails with a suitable "neutral"--e.g. grey, navy, fawn, cream depending on your preference?
