I decided to change the look of this blog to make it look a little more crafty. The colors remind me of Fall, which starts a couple of days from now. This time of year, my crafting thoughts turn to warmer items, like hats and scarves. I whipped these up last week from Premier Yarns Serenity Chunky Weight. It's a nice, thick acrylic yarn that should keep the wearer nice and warm this winter.
Craft show season is rapidly approaching- my first one is less than a month away. You can see a schedule at the right. Stop out and say hello if you're able. If you make a purchase and mention that you saw the schedule on my blog, I'll give you a 10% discount on your purchase.
Of course I've kept busy over the Spring and Summer. I finished the baby blanket that I mentioned in my last post. The Softee Baby by Bernat worked up quite nicely, and didn't fray or split. I did a similar one in a basic shell stitch using Caron Simply Soft. I like small, lacy things to make when it's hot out.
A yarn I fell in love with this year is Patons Bamboo Baby. It's 100% Bamboo, and it feels so soft and squishy. It's a medium weight, and feels a lot warmer than it looks. It also drapes very well. I made a shawl for a raffle in an online group I'm in, and I felt like keeping it for myself! I used a stitch pattern from the July, 2010 issue of Crochet! magazine. Here's a close up of the stitch pattern. Absolutely lovely.
