Today is my birthday. When Eddie asked what I wanted, the only thing I could think of was a whole day in bed surrounded by yarn and perhaps a bon bon or two. Does that sound like a total waste of day? To me it sounds like heaven and I plan to work on projects, read and relax
This week I am yarning along again with Ginny from Small Things. To keep with my resolution to only use materials from my stash as well as complete my UFO’s (unfinished objects), I pulled out my crocheted rainbow ripple blanket from last summer and bag of rainbow colored yarns and got back to work on it. A few rows were ripped out while being stored in a basket under the coffee table so I am now back to where I was when I stored it but hopefully it will go fast. I hope to have it on the couch by spring but for now the happy colors are helping me through winter.
Yesterday I woke up thinking how cute some knitted spats would look and casted on a new project. I have changed my mind twice (ripping out the entire project) but now have one almost done so hopefully I can share it with you all next week. I also need to learn how to write a knitted pattern. I wrote out the pattern as I went along creating the spats and it looks alot like a crochet pattern to me lol.
I cleaned out my closet yesterday (part of Eddie’s honey do list for me) and got rid of lots of stuff though I set aside much more than I should have to upcycle into something else. It is so hard for me to get rid of clothing because I see it as fabric. I really need to work through my pile of refashion projects. The problem is I will see something and think “I am going to make xyz with this” but then I add it to the pile and when I come back to it, I can’t think of what I saved it for. Maybe I should write down what it will become on a sticky note and putting it on the item next time. Then I might change my mind on what to make with it but not forget my initial idea.
I am working on my project for tomorrows stash bash and can’t wait to share it with everyone joining me….won’t you join me too : ) We had lots of fun last week and I got lots of inspiration from everyone who linked up, thank you!

This is so beautiful! Would you mind sharing what yarn this is? I'd love to get my hands on some bright colors. Thank you!
Ashley, so sorry I never saw your comment. It\’s just cotton yarn bought on a cone but I don\’t recall the name. I bought it so long ago
Love this blanket. Would really love the pattern to make it for my new grandchild. Have not crocheted foe many years but this has really inspired me thank you Rosemary.
