Me, too! :)

Just got a new booklet with a dozen or so patterns for using ‘Scarfie’ yarn. There’s a shawl/shrug that has caught my eye.

So, only THEY can tell me what to do!

Cashed in my $25 gift card on yarn at Wisconsin Craft Mart, yesterday. Yay! And I was gravely disappointed that the St. Vincent Yarn Sale is only at a location too far away from me to make it worth my while. Boo! I guess it’s become so popular that they’ve been asked to move it to various locations. Makes sense, but no fun for me! :(

I’m going to go pout and crochet, today, LOL!

I made some crochet fingerless mittens last night after doing nothing but knitted ones for a month & a half. Someone in the family asked for a knitted hat to wear hunting - I had leftover yarn after the hat so I knitted him matching mittens; however his crocheted “lucky mitts” (first thing he packs when off on a trip) were made in 2013, so I made another pair in a camo yarn that goes with the hat.

It was nice to crochet - doesn’t bother my hand(s). The knitting is getting better/more comfortable, but crochet is still #1, IMO.

Got a pic of my relative’s baby on the blanket I sent her last week (the antique white that looks light yellow one). I love getting pics of babies with the blankets I’ve made for them - it’s a great reward!

BTW, I made a gorgeous scarf with “Scarfie” in royal blue & black ... the colors in Scarfie are really “rich”. Your project should be gorgeous.
