Ivory Blanket - Finished!
One more post before I get to work and stay buried for the rest of the day …
I finished the ivory blanket! It’s absolutely gorgeous and the softest thing I’ve made. I should mention that this is not my original pattern, it’s from a Leisure Arts pamphlet called “Quick Knit Baby Afghans” or something like that, done by Evelyn Clark. The yarns were Caron Simply Soft Off White (which was more of a pale yellow) and Simply Soft Baby White. It’s an acrylic yarn with a bit of sheen to it, and so soft and fluffy.
I’ll be doing this blanket again soon, this time for a dear friend of mine … :-)
Yarn Whore
I got a little “excited” at the Woolie Ewe today. I got 2 new skeins of yarn to make another purse and then some fun fur to edge a scarf, and then the lady tells me that everything in the back is 50% off. So then who decides to go nuts and buy more?
Here is a close-up, even though this still does not show the texture as awesome as it really is!
My Latest Projects
I have been working on a few things at a time lately…. but that is just me. I get antsy and have to change what I am working on. And then there is that problem of the stores not having the yarn I need! Here is one of those examples:
I am making another furry purse, but do you think I could find this Fun Fur in the Citrus color I need? I went to THREE (3) stores yesterday, and not one had the color (or the pink I want for a scarf I am making…)
I am also making a cool new pair of socks with Lion Brand Polarspun Yarn. I love this color (Mango Punch):
