This is my thoughts on Peaches & Creme cotton yarn by Elmore-Pisgah Inc. versus Sugar ‘n Cream by Lily. I tend use P&C more than SnC for 1 reason only – WalMart carries it and WalMart is close.

Personally I like SnC better. It’s softer. Other than that they knit up very similar. WalMart has limited colors, but they are very inexpensive and they are the closest to home. And with gas prices the way they are that makes it doubly cheap.

Idea – Mobile

Every year for Xmas one or more Pocopson resident asks for an “Adult Mobile.”  Well here it is.  This one uses circles of “stained glass.”  It’s that stuff you get at the craft store that uses acrylic disks and the “Gallery Glass” paint.  You could use other shapes and styles of wire.
