I adore Lion Brand and their products. I fell for their wool and wool-ease yarns last winter when I was blessed with a number of skeins thanks to my mother. Wool ease is a lovely feeling yarn with slip, squish, and cuddle. It truly is a joy to work with. I made a number of [...]

I am in awe of the squishy gorgeous that is still laying on my couch. What am I [...]
Yarn Happy
Today I went to the Mart and got myself some yarns. One set is for my mother in law’s requested blanket in her chosen colors. 4 skeins (3 -6oz and 1 -5oz) should be enough for the blanket *I hope*. She wanted deep purple and turquoise. The 5oz is the one with all the colors [...]
I have a Stash, wanna see?
This is what my mother brought me today, along with another circular needle and hairpin lace/stitch holder. I have in essence over 50 ounces of yarn right now just in what she gave me. I am so happy! I have a bonafide stash and a scale to weigh it on. YAY. Thanks again mom [...]

The Crochet Bible is here
I got my book( The Crochet Stitch Bible ) in the mail today. It seemed like it took forever, when it really didn’t. I also got my LionBrand catalog in the mail. I like the higher quality yarns, but I can’t see paying a dollar per ounce (or more) plus shipping right now…Red Heart hasn’t [...]
Royal came in the mail
I ordered a color of yarn that I had been looking for at the Walmart, but they took them all off the shelf. Of course, the first place I looked was online for the Royal blue yarn that I was missing. I want to add a bit more of a trim to my afghan. I [...]
