Not Quite a knitting question

lilmrsarata @lilmrsarata (240) • United States 5 Jun 07

this is not really a knitting question but it has to do with yarn. I was wondering if there is a way to make a thicker rope from yarn. Is there a way to braid strands to make a rope? if anyone could help that would be great!!...

samsonskola I think the perfect world would not be overcrowded, where you could live in the setting that pleases you no matter what it is, and where health care is free, no taxes, but mostly where there is no crime or hate..so that there would be no need for prisons.
