with a ton of acrlic yarn??? Before I started knitting I crocheted. I have a ton of red hart yarn that I hate now, (thanks to you guys opening my eyes to the real world of yarn!!) and I have no idea to do with. I thought about selling it on e-bay, but then thought that maybe you guys would have some ideas on how to use it.
Thanks
Jess :)

I donated a lot of mine. You could just offer it up for charity projects, either here or locally.

You might try selling it on ebay. You know, the Greater Fool theory: If you were fool enough to buy it, there's a greater fool out there who will buy it from you! :lol:

If you wanna just get rid of some of it, I'll pay for shipping to me. I'd love to make some homeless pet blankets, but I don't have anything I can make it with. So far the only "stash" I have is the few left over balls from my projects (which are all the size of a tennis ball or less. Mostly less.)

Yep! I was at Micheals and saw the display and a basket for squares. I thought what an easy way to help someone and clear out the stash drawer. I'm not making a whole afghan, just making the rectangles to drop off at Micheals.

I'm hoping I come across a cheap stash of acrylic yarn to make afgan squares out of. Some I might donate to warm up america, some I might just hang on to and make myself an afgan, eventually. And there's nothing like afgan squares for practicing stitch patterns.
