So, I did run off to A.C. Moore to buy more yarn. Got all of these lovelies, and a few non-yarny things for less than 10 dollars. Now what is great about that is, one ball of the ModaDea Kickx is normally $10.99. Yay! Now, what should I do with them? The yarn pile has expanded to another box. The tote is for full skeins and the box holds yarn that has been used then wound into a ball.
Also finished my handwarmers. Had to crochet them. My Knifty Knitters are too big of a gauge. **wishes it was 5 weeks later, so new loom would be here** I wrote my own pattern for these so check out my pattern link for it.
I had yarn left over from my hat and handwarmers, and from the baby blanket I was working on. So I made a few extra items to go with the blanket. I love baby shoes. They are so adorable. Maybe it is because I love adult shoes so much. Hmmm...A small project note. I had been working on a Gryffindor Illusion scarf. Well, my Knifty Knitter gauge is making it huge. I have gotten through two letters and it is already 12" across and 16" long. So I am adjusting. Instead of a scarf, I am making a blanket. I will work up patterns for all the house names. Make them up and stitch together. I'm sure if you used a smaller gauge loom with one strand of yarn, it would turn out scarf sized. But I don't want to rip out what I have done. As soon as I get the charts worked out I will put them up. **Runs off to buy lots of yarn in house colors**
