Random Quick Tip!

Kid Crochet
Another use for scraps of yarn, the type that are long enough to make actual things with, is to give it to your kid who is just learning how to crochet. That way, your child will have a practice ball of yarn to use and he/she can frog it as many times as needed without ruining a new skein of yarn.
