Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
I have a roll (a billion yards or so) of light blue. So far the only thing I've used it for is for knitting very cushy mats. Made one of a friend's cat.
I roll out the tricot a yard or so at a time, then I cut fron the left ALMOST to the right, then go above that part and cut from right to almost left border-----about an inch. Then I use it as yarn. The uncut ends leave a little bump when quilting, but a fun tag for the cat to play with,
