I'd like to help but have to be honest, I don't really know how to tell my yarn scraps apart.  Is there a tip that will help out so I can get started?  I'll do whatever I can :)

Jessica, I'll probably be able to tell.  The key is to not use fuzzy yarn, you know the eyelash stuff.  If you're using baby yarn that too would be problem, but...I think if you're knitting comfortable with a size 6-7-or 8, it's probably knitted worsted weight and would be just fine..........if you're crocheting, hooks H and I and pretty common for that weight, so if you feel you need a size other than that, it might not be knitted worsted.  Thanks for asking, appreciate it.  Sorry for delay in responding, just got back in town.

LOL - I don't know anything about sizes or weights...I look at the colors & feel them & then grab a pair of needles or a hook and say...hmm, that should be nice.  I don't follow patterns and I am still learning soooo much.  I've got the regular "red heart" brands in several colors (but have others too) and I can make sure it's the size you asked...will that work out?  If so, I'll get it done. Just let me know where I can send it out (InspiredMama (at) Gmail (dot) com) to get me the info - thanks :)
