You guys rock! So idea idea is to put skein in zip lock, snip two holes in bag and feed inside thread of skein thru one hole, outside thread of skein thru other hole. I'm going to give this a try!

Trouble is the rows use two strands of the same color but only call for one skein per color. I guess I have to take each skein and re roll in to two. Then I will have two strands of the same color to crochet with. Is this the best approach? What is the best way to re roll the yarn??? My pattern calls for corchet wth two strands.

That's awesome. I am partially disabled and have found that crocheting keeps me sane. I'm working on several different projects. It keeps my mind busy while my kids are at school. I know there are some REALLY BIG plastic hooks available to work with. As another option to using old t-shirts, which is a great idea, you can also use old towels that have torn or are stained. Good luck with your project. I hope we get to see a picture of the final piece. Now I need to go dig through the kids clothes and find some old shirts to make a rug from! Thanks for the idea!

And everyone so far that has seen them on my porch or floor wants one, neatly solving the what do I make them for Christmas or birthday..... crochet on!
