Finished this blankie last night. The yarn was bought from AC Moore - it was a mill-end bag so I don't know the brand. It's worsted weight and 100% acrylic. If anyone knows what brand this could be, please let me know.
**eta - I saw this yarn at Hobby Lobby - it's 'I Love This Yarn!' - color is 'gelato stripes'.

I've seen on a few blogs that little yarn snippets from projects were being saved in a jar. I started saving mine and then attached a lamp kit - I now have a new lamp for my crochet room. Here's the link to Lampstuff if anyone is interested in making their own lamp. :)

I love the blanket!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blanket and cute lamp too. I've been saving my little bits of yarn ends in a gift bag. I'm going to toss them outside so the birds and squirrels can use in their nests.
ReplyDeleteBanket is adorable! I love the lamp I am going to check that out!
ReplyDeleteI love that lamp! What a great idea. The baby blanket is very pretty too. Love the variegated yarns for small projects -- no tails. Have a great day! Tammy
ReplyDeleteDebi your Blanket is beautiful...nice colours!
ReplyDeleteYour new lamp is absolutely the most beautiful I have ever seen. Just great and I'll thank you so much for the link!

your blankets always look nice. I have years worth of leftover threads..A lamp what an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteAw, I saw the giveaway on Insomniac with a Hook before I saw your post otherwise I would've told her that you sent me!
ReplyDeleteI think the blanket turned out great ... did you end up being happy with it?
The lamp is terrific!
Thanks ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Sharon - I've done that a couple of times - the garden always looks so colorful.
CrochetBlogger - I'm still sitting on the fence about the colors. I hope some little baby's Mom will like it.
I think the blanket looks beautiful Debi, you are prolific! I love your lamp, and the bird's nest idea - super cute! I just machine-sewed a bunch of my ends to some water-soluble stabilizer and plan to use the 'patch' in some freeform crochet :-)
ReplyDeleteOoooh...the blankie is so pretty! I love that color, whatever it is, LoL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea for the yarn scraps/lamp!

Hello, Debi.
ReplyDeleteThe blanket is lovely to see. Seems very soft too!
And what a cute idea to fill the base of your lamp with rests of your yarns. I like it very much!
Dear greetings, Lia
That blanket is absolutely gorgeous! I adore the colors! Sometimes that mill ends yarn is the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to enter that giveaway! And yes, that IS a great prize!
