Bernat Baby Yarn Fun.

  A little bit of late posting going on here! I'd be a lot faster if I did not have to rely on my sister to take my photos. This is a follow up to the yarn haul post!
   This yarn is Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn. Thank you, Diane! Really appreciate it! I went to a crocheting group on Facebook asking, what does one do with this yarn? What type of yarn is this? So Laura from Over The Head Threads hooked me up with her delicious pattern for a baby hat. The hat was hers,  the pom pom was my own! Thank you Laura!
  So I finally got to use my size N hook for this, which was a lot of fun, since the hook is big and chunky. This yarn is a little hard to work with, but as long as you use your fingers to feel along the stitches, you should be fine. I crocheted this in around an hour, listening to some John Denver, which I haven't done in a while. Must say, John Denver has perfect yarny music.
  Instead of using a fork as usual, I just wrapped the  yarn around my hand 35 times for the pom pom. Like they sang in "Here Comes Peter Cottontail": "If You can't get it all together, improvise"! Wise 1970s wisdom.
  Next, a knitted head band. I can't remember which book had it, but it was a children's knitting book. Lots of fun to make, the one knitting pattern I know by heart! This yarn knits up really quickly! I was at 16 inches in no time.
   Highly recommend this yarn, so soft and perfect for those babies!

TEAM WYATT PROJECTS/AUNT DEB GOES PURPLE!

 

      Here are the projects I promised you! The first one is a turquoise blanket with a soft green trim. This is for Wyatt. I used a "Lion Brand" pattern for this. I ventured outside my blanket comfort zone with this, it was a lot of work, but I am so proud of it!! 

     The second one is a quilt. I did not make this, a Project Linus lady did! It has tractors on it! This will also go out to Wyatt, two blankets to keep the little warrior nice and toasty in the chilly hospital.

   I laid out some projects on my bedroom floor for my sister to photograph. These are projects old and new, knit and crochet. A ridge rib scarf, four crochet boxes, a knitted headband and a measuring spoon book Mark. I found the pattern at this blog!http://beansiebabbles.blogspot.com/2009/02/pattern-for-good-measure.html

    This is a photo of me modeling the headband. My eyes look quite puffy, I've been putting in many late nights to get things done! All of the floor projects are going to the benefit yard sale. 100% of the proceeds will go to Wyatt!

     Next, we have my Aunt Deb (Wyatt's Grandma) going purple with the Purple Eyeshadow Challenge! Go Team Wyatt!
