I thought about a wordless post, and a sonnet. And a crossword.
But here's my contribution - and a competition. Yes, it's a wordsearch.
A number of fibres/materials commonly used for knitting (more than 10, fewer than 20) are concealed in this grid. All are included in Ravelry's yarn list. The fibre starting with Q which is very difficult to spell isn't here.
Tell me how many you've found in the comments, and let me know where to find you (Ravelry name, blog, whatever... )
If I have any entries at all, I'll close entries at midnight BST between 1st and 2nd May. In the unlikely event of two people finding the same number, I'll need a list...
The winner will receive a skein of good-quality sock yarn in a mutually happy colour and my enduring thanks....
I'll post the results when the winners are announced...
