I am a novice knitter looking to knit a simple sweaterI've knitted scarves before and used whatever yarn was on sale at craft stores for that.I'm looking for recommendations to brands and types that are fairly inexpensive, but come in a wide variety of colors.Also, if anyone has any tips or links to online free patterns, I'd love that!!
I save them and when I get enough I take them over to the local schoolThe kindergarden kids just love themToilet paper rolls as well.
when my rat was alive i gave them to hershes was too big to crawl through them like other rodents like to do but she chewed themi also read somewhere to buy white gloves (the knit ones) and then put a section of the paper towel tube over three of ur fingerscover the top with masking tape and draw a head and use other materials to make it look like a puppeti never tried it but it sounds easy.
I store folded extension cords in themIt keeps them from tangling and I can label the tube with length or special purpose (i.ewaffle iron)I give them to the houserabbit as chew toysThey get gnawed and tossed aboutI put several into a coffee tin or similar as dividers for long straight knitting needlesIf I'm out of paper towels, I leave the last tube on the rack and drape a cloth towel over itSlit the tube lengthwise and slip it over a rough wooden edge or a metal oneIt's looks tacky, but it'll save nylon hose or prevent freezing hands in winter or burning 'em in summer.

Yarns from one-of-a-kind dye tons aren't continuously the distinct identical color (mostly they can be darker or lighter)For those who use two distinctive dye tons you are going to get a two tone sweater (it's going to or will not be very noticeable)I say are attempting it anywayIn the event you do not like they method it became out, you would constantly frog your sweater (unravel it) and use the yarn for some thing else.

My daughter made a castle in Brownies out of paper towel and toilet paper rollsThe kids glued the rolls together and used a large rubber band to hold them in place until the glue driedThey then decorated the castles with markers and small flags made from tooth picks and construction paperThe castles were really cute.
