Is it rude to ask a friend to stay some nights at their home? Me and another friend are going to FL probably soon, and I am considering to ask her about this, but I am not sure if it is fine or rude... especially because I don't know how it is considered in the US.
It depends on how well you know her. Also, will your travelling companion need a place to stay, too? Does the FL friend know this companion of yours? Asking a friend if you could stay at her place a few days might be ok, if she has room. But inviting yourself AND a stranger (to her) would be over-the-top. It isn't done, unless you and the FL friend are best friends.

Yes, it is considered rude.
The exception would be if you have a previously extended invitation from your friend in the US to come and stay anytime you want - and for any length of time.
You might want to start a new thread if you want more replies.
I asked my sister to knit or crochet me a couple scarves and hats. I had to buy her the wool which was fine but when I got the scarves I couldn't believe how long they were. The one was also so thick and wide it was really stiff and way too bulky as well as long. i ended up having a co-worker rip one of the scarves shorter and made a hat and a head band with the excess, The other scarf she completely ripped out and remade it much lighter and shorter. I love it and can actually wear it now. She made a head band with the excess from that one and I still have wool left over. My concern is if my sister finds out she might throw a fit. She's a bit touchy. I'm sure she will find out one day but the wool cost me a lot of money and I didn't want to ask her to re-do them as she does a lot of projects and i felt lucky she even agreed to do them in the first place. I am just happy I had a nice co-worker who was willing to help me out.
Lucky! I just found some heavyweight wool in greens and blues marked waaay down, bought it to use for hats or scarves next year.
What color were yours?
I have a coat that is a dark purple and I wanted something matching. I found a really nice chunky wool with a variegated color of purples to black so it's a perfect match. The other wool was brown with a gold thread also chunky. i love a gold hi-light in things whether it's a thread or sparkles. It just gives a pop of glitz and the chunky wool makes it very soft. The brown is great with my black jacket.
i've been out of work since December. Starting to get a bit bored with it now. My house is cleaner than ever, how many times a day can you vacuum? Lol. Guess I can clean and organize the garage.....
To the poster with the "touchy" sister, as long as you don't have physical contact with her during times when you are expected to wear what she made for you (scarf), if she asks about it just say "thank you for making it" again and say it looks nice with your (insert color here) coat or jacket. If you do have physical contact with her when you are expected to wear the scarf, wear a different coat/jacket, then you can say (if asked) it doesn't go with this coat/jacket. Do not bring it up at all, she may never even ask about it again.
Your description of the material and that of the other poster you were conversing with sounds beautiful! ALMOST makes me wish I was back in Michigan's winter so I could wear these beautiful, warm items.

One time I got bored and organized, swept and even mopped the attic floor.
Being bored would be a luxury for me, and by the looks of my house now I really need a whole week of boredom
