Still working slowly but surely through the yarn stash I have accumulated over the years. I was so close to almost finishing – I made a ton of scarves for charity and a few baby blankets for Project Linus. Sadly, my grandmother passed away in mid-March….I will miss her a lot, as she is the one who taught me how to crochet and instilled my love for yarn projects and reading. As my grandpa was cleaning out some of her “stuff”, he passed on two me two huge containers of yarn!! Now I have more yarn that I know what to do with, and I am working through that as quickly as possible.
I will admit I broke my yarn diet: I had to buy some of Knitpick’s new Aloft for what I was hoping would be a mother’s day gift, and WEBS was having a big sale so I bought some Cascade Eco. Aside from that, I’ve been good, I promise! Here’s the results of the past three or so months of stashbusting:
A baby set and toy for my cousin’s new baby, due August:
A baby blanket for charity, practicing my lace:
A hat for my Deedeekins:
Plus a bolero and mitts for myself that I don’t have pictures of, and a ton more scarves and washcloths. Just gotta keep on truckin’ so I can start work on an afghan for myself and a thousand other projects I have queued up.
