I was reading up on crafting a bit ago and came across this:
>So you can see its actually very simple. And one thing you should know. Lets say you complete some socks. And you want to convert the socks back to yarn. Get your yarn out and socks in the other hand. Combine. No wasted yarn and you can start again with the same yarn. Keep in mind this wont work if your doing work orders as you have to turn in the project to complete the work orders.

I could not get this to work using the combine verb. Does anyone know (a) whether it does work, and, if so (b) how to do it?
