I'm trying to get back into knitting, but Austin really wants the yarn. I have to be super vigilant when he is around because he will act like he's not paying attention then lunge for it. If I yell he backs off. But I'm just worried I'm going to slip up and he's going to get some. I was looking for something that looks a bit like yarn but is safe for him to play with, but haven't been able to come up with anything. Anybody have any ideas?
