Hi Harold,
For knitting a winter scarf as a beginner and opt for acrylic yarn which is durable, warm, and easy to handle. The Karizma yarn pink stands out with its anti-pilling feature that prevents unraveling and offers 780 meters total length for ample coverage.
This yarn is softer than chunky fleece alternatives and provides better stitch definition for scarves compared to bamboo blends which are less ideal for cold weather.
Agree with you - Placement is huge - get the nursery unit as high as safely possible and keep the parent unit off the floor or near metal and you’ll gain a surprising bit of range. For hardware, DECT 6.0 (1.9 GHz) or 900 MHz FHSS models usually punch through walls better than 2.4 GHz WiFi cams, and disabling eco/VOX power-saving modes can stop those brief dropouts. If you stick with a WiFi monitor, a mesh node or extender on the stair landing often fixes the upstairs dead spot.
