Hello All,
I hope this finds ya'll doing well and staying cool, it's a humid 85 degrees here in NC, had a little bit of rain but it didn't knock the humidity down at all. Tried to "unplugged" most of the day and do some crocheting and have been working on a new broomstick lace scarf after a little clean up and reorganizing & making room for 3 more yarn orders and 1 swedish weaving order.
I bargain shop and always look for clearance yarn and other items. These orders amounted to less than $20 each.
Orders
#1 Mary Maxim order for the 1lb.Bag of Yarn- Solids (on sale this time for $4.99), hopefully I don't get the natural white again, the last batch of 1lb. yarn I decided to learn the moss stitch and making washcloths/dishcloths with it. Plus 3 skeins of Bernat Handicraft Cotton Yarn in a Blue Jean color.
#2 Yarnspirations had a limited supply of Mystery Bags of 1 lb. yarn. I was lucky enough thru an email to snag one this time. Not sure what I will get in this one as it's my first time snagging 1. Still going on while supplies last 40% off so snagged it for $8.99
#3 Premier Yarns Premier Coffee- Sumatra 3 skeins/cakes. This is a new to me yarn that I found after watching some youtube videos. I also have Premier Nordica yarn I am currently working with( I didn't realize the name brand until I pulled it out for this blog lol) So I'm not sure how much I will like working with this yarn. I may try crocheting a small lap afghan with it. They also have a rewards program that I am going to look into and I have also signed up for their newletter & created an account with them.
PHOTO FROM WEBSITE
Photo from websiteMost if not all online yarn stores like these listed above do offer a percentage off your 1st time order and do send emails with sale items and sometimes promotion codes. Keep in mind I am in no way affiliated with any of these companies, I just want to share my experiences with you about them.
Now onto finishes( yes finishes!)
1st up is the finished hairpin lace crochet shawl. I finished it this past week.
Little bit larger than I expected but all worked out good. Pattern is RED HEART WOMAN'S HAIRPIN LACE SHAWLCURRENT link to free pattern just click download pattern and it will open a PDF in your browser, then you can download it for later use.
I just decided to use the stitch markers because I kept having to recount my stitches and loops 😒😂
Well done! The broomstick lace is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I hope to have that done by the end of July
DeleteOh my gosh that hairpin lace is a beautiful scarf.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for sales, I knit or crochet but love seeing what others are making.
Nice haul from Michaels and hobby Lobby.
