Adding Orange for Health

orange yarn stashOrange stash. Well I don't have as much orange stash as with some other colors; but believe I have enough variety in shades that this will be a good next color in the color stash busting corner to corner ghan. And everyone knows eating oranges is a healthy thing to do, so making a ghan to keep one warm will hopefully have the same healthy benefit.

I've made one other ghan in this method and really like the diagonal stripes. The negative of course to so many changes in colors, will be the number of ends I'll have to tuck in. This is going to Faith Mission, where women and children are given temporary housing .

  4. Isn't it funny how we sometimes accumulate a lot of a particular color without even realizing it. I am that way with pastels and with blues. I love peach and don't get much call for it, but I buy it anyway. LOL
