TTMT the 90th (!!!) with dozmuffinxc

I apparently need a new video editing program, because Windows Movie Maker is refusing to recognize the videos I make on my Flip camera. Instead of putting the picture of the beanie at the end of the vid, I've had to include it under the cut.

Well, I don't knit or crochet...but yeah, cotton yarns are hard to find, beyond something like Sugar and Cream yarn that might be too heavy for a hat or the like (though I'm not sure about that). That brand's available at Michael's. I was poking around online and Herrschner's has some different cotton yarns: http://www.herrschners.com/dept/Yarns/Cotton.aspx?ItemsPerPage=24&PageNumber=1

There's a Deborah Norville cotton and silk yarn down the page there that sounds like it'd be soft, and silk doesn't usually cause allergic reactions.

I have some skeins of cotton yarns I got ages ago that I think are more for knitting, but they're in a sort of dark pink, so not neutral. :/ I'd be glad to send them to you if you want them though.

So frustrating! Thank you for the link; I'll check it out and see what I can find. Just because the Michael's by my house didn't have it, doesn't mean the other local craft stores won't!

I think it would be awesome if you spun your own cotton yarn :D But yeah... I've got no suggestions.

Anyway, your Halloween treat bag turned out great :D When we were kids my mom made us use a pillowcase to go trick or treating, but we were only allowed on both sides of our own street and the street behind us (and sometimes she'd let us go to our Grandma's house, which was a couple blocks away, but usually we didn't get allowed that much candy gathering), so it was always kind of a sad, three-quarters empty pillow case of candy :D It takes a lot of rockets and tootsie roll pops to fill a pillowcase (mini chocolate bars and bags of chips were pretty rare when I was a kid).

I get, like, 4 trick-or-treaters at my place. It's really sad! I wish that we had a bigger turn-out, because I LOVE Halloween, and I get all dressed up and super excited even though I can't trick-or-treat myself :(

We get anywhere between 50 and 90, depending on the day of the week when it falls. I think it might be a bit nuts this year, being on a Friday.

The bag turned out cute, and I think the hat is cute! It just looks ribbed. They always soften up when they are washed anyway. It reminds me of a faux cable rib

I've only looked at Michael's, so I'll definitely check out A.C. Moore and Hobby Lobby (apparently, HL has its own brand in 100% cotton that's supposed to be quite soft). Thank you for the offer! I'm always willing to take yarn off other people's hands, but it's definitely not necessary; I've hardly tapped into all of my options yet :)

90 videos, WOO!!!

Oh gosh, 100% cotton yarn is usually pretty easy to find (unless your Australian...you'll have to ask hardhatcat about that someday!

Look for Peaches and Creme. It's the one I see the most. I'm really surprised Michal's didn't have any, I've definitely gotten it there before.
