I couldnt figure a good use for jungle jive disco fiber on a card, so I decided to make one of the cute hairy fiber knit scarves. I guess I should have thought about it before I did it as it looks like Christmas garland, a long skinny green one, now I just have to add lights and I can put it around my front door. Anyone had any better uses for theirs?
I tried giving mine to my mom so she can knit me a scarf. She's retired so I thought this wouldn't be a big deal. Ugh! She said she doesn't like knitting with the new fangled yarn and only likes "normal" yarn. Oh well. I can see using the fibre with the tag stamps that come in the Terrific Tags Punch box, that is in the winter mini catalogue.

I got a green/brownish one. A nice surprise. thought about the scarf thing,too - but wasn't sure of the color - but it might be a nice contrast against all that snow gathering in my yard :p - we are at 130 inches of cumulative (is that the right word?) snow this year - already at half of our normal snow accumilation for the year. and it's only December. we are in big trouble!!!
My mom calls these hairy scarves "Monkey Scarfs" So, I was out on the town today with my Jungle Jive Monkey Scarf on and.... I have never had so many compliments! It was amazing, they all thought it was extremely festive and fun.
I might consider knitting other peoples for them for a small fee They only take a little over an hour and one roll is enough for one scarf.
I got the green too. I tried to crochet a scarf but gave up, the yarn is too hard to work with. So I got out my knitting needles Size 11, 30stiches, wasn't thinking, had to go buy 3 more skeins to finish @ $4.87 a skein!!! It turned out nice. I am faster and better at crochet but knitting with this yarn is the way to go it is so forgiving you can't see if the stitches are not uniform.;) I thought about making the wreath that was pictured with one of the idea sheets that came with the yarn, wish I would have would have saved me $15!
hey,
i got my free yarn also but i have an insane hate for green-
our first home was decorated in green, many different shades in every room including the livingroom carpet...anyway...
i found the same yarn at that "wally place" and they didn't have any problem exchanging it for a different color...
can't wait to find time to try this yarn on my knitting machine!!!!!
