Let’s Buy Some New Yarn
Hello blog friends.
Happy April and April Fools Day!
Happy April and April Fools Day!
It's been a while since I've bought some new yarn. I'd love to share with you my new haul.

I went shopping in the Michael's store last month (when it was safe to shop). I bought four skeins of Caron Latte Cakes yarn. The yarn was regularly priced at $9.99 a skein, and I got mine on clearance for $2.97 a skein. 🧶

The yarn comes in 15 different colors. Below are the four skeins of yarn I bought.
I was so excited to get started working on a project with my new yarn.
I started the knit scarf using size US 11 knitting needles and cast on 20 stitches. I made a ribbing of Knit 2, Purl 2 for each row and the yarn is ROSE-SCENTED.
 |
UPDATE: I ripped out the knitted scarf three times because I didn't like the way the scarf was coming out. I decided to crochet the scarf instead. Crocheting with yarn comes out so much faster than knitting. When I crochet it doesn't make my wrist hurt for some reason as it does with knitting.
In the photos below, you can see how I started the crochet scarf. I can't wait to see how the color pattern will look. :)
I used a US size K crochet hook and crocheted the half double crochet stitch.
I will have the details soon and the pattern to crochet your own scarf.
Have you bought any new yarn lately? Are you working on any new knit or crochet projects?
