With only about 3 weeks left until Christmas or Hanukkah, you check your list and find you don't have anything for your cousin or secret Santa or for MOM? No worries! Theses ideas have gotcha covered, and most of them can be done with SCRAPS!

The Tip Jar

Did you know that there are US and UK terms for yarn sizes? If you see something calling for 4-ply yarn, it doesn't usually mean yarn with 4 plies, it means fingering weight yarn. It could also mean yarn with 4 plies. To tell, first check the gauge. If it says "20 sts in 4 inches", then it's probably US terms,  calling for a worsted weight yarn with 4 plies. But if it calls for "28 sts in 4 inches" it's probably UK terms, calling for a fingering weight yarn.

Here's a link with a good explanation, and here's an easy chart on Ravelry.
