Hello All,
I hope this finds you doing well and staying safe and cool. Wildfires are continuing out west and as always my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected🙏🙏
Updates on a few of my crochet projects that I am working on....
Slowly trying out new yarns so that I can give honest reviews and hope it helps you with future purchases :)
This first project is using Lion Brand unbanded 1 lb. of yarn in possible #5 or maybe #6 weight yarn in Grey. I'm working on a Granny Triangle Wrap.
Next up is yarn from Mary Maxim - 1lb. Solids in the color Sky @
1lb. Bag of Yarn - Solids on sale for $4.99(regular price $9.99) You CAN'T choose the color you want.
I have shopped @ Mary Maxim a couple of times and have never had a problem with ordering or shipping. I can honestly recommend them to you.
This project is affectionately called the Cat Stitch Scarf although I have deliberately made the chain stitch, bottom stitch tighter than the Cat Stitch (aka Puff Stitch) to create a wrap around. I found the video where Crystal from Bag O' Day crochet gives you a tutorial on this @
Bag O' Day Crochet
Another 1lb. Bag of Yarn - Solids ordered a week later, surprise! lol Same color.
This yarn I am using to crochet a Coronation Scarf by The Secret Yarnery
Next up is another scarf project using Red Heart Soft Essentials I found on clearance $3 at Michaels. Most of the skeins I have of just 1 color will mainly be used up on 1 project at a time.
I've learned the V stitch with this one and it's going pretty smooth
This next one is using 1 skein I have of each color in White, Autumn Red and Guacamole
White is Caron Simply Soft
Autumn Red is Caron Simply Soft
Guacamole is Red Heart Soft.
All 3 of these were on clearance as well at 2 of my local craft stores. You may be able to find them online...
This is Quilt Inspired crochet from
The Unraveled Mitten. It is a wall hanging. I have more yarn for another one of these but in different colors. I'll take pictures of the yarn when I am ready to start another one.
I named this 1 East Coast Stitcher's perfectly Imperfect Wall Hanging as you can see I was learning to use 2 colors without cutting and restarting. It was a challenge but I did manage by watching how to do a triangle granny square.
I'm still working on solid color granny squares for a blanket of many colors. This is what I have so far each color is a 50g skein and I have 2 each. Mira Handcraft yarn on Amazon. 12 color pack.
I can get around 9 squares out of 2- 50 gram skeins, I think I'll call this 1 my mismatched granny square blanket
1 more project which I am trying to use up what yarn I have before buying any.
This one I may have shown before but wanted to show an update. Caron Skinny Cakes found on clearance. This will most likely be a granny square Vest. The color is Citron Fizz
My yarn budget is low so no more buying for a few months... Can't really Afford to buy anymore.... which is why I chose to be an affiliate for Premier Yarns & signed up on BuyMeACoffee.

I'll list what yarns and colors I purchased and let you choose the color or colors you like IF you would like me to send you a finished project. Email me @ rebelrosecreations@gmail.com
