Look what I've been buying...



I am seeing a color theme here. I don't know what it is about blues, but they just appeal to me. Tuesday Morning had yarn in their flyer last week, so I knew I wanted to get over there to get some. I went today and found the yarn on the far left as well as the solid blue baby yarn. I got the chenille yarn at Hobby Lobby on clearance this past weekend. The yarn on the right is a soft, fuzzy yarn I found at Wal-mart when I got the pink yarn I am knitting AK's scarf with. Speaking of...



It's gotten a bit longer since the last picture. This is only my 3rd knitting experience. I think I may have pulled my stitches too tight because it's pretty thick and dense, not very flexible and squishy. Anyway, I hope it turns out good in spite of that.

Back to the yarn...



I have this yarn that came with my Knit a Washcloth kit that my Mom gave me several years ago. I plan on trying another washcloth soon.

Now, hold on to your socks. Here is the yarn AK picked out for me to make her next scarf (because every 5 year old needs multiple scarves).



It actually looks better in this picture than it does in person. If I had to describe it using one word I would say BRIGHT!

I can't wait to use all of it in various projects. I just have to figure out what to make!

Get on with your bad self, and the Knitting Amy. Is Anna Kate bringing out the artist in you? I expect a perfectly knitted unique hat one day (no pressure), and if I don't wear it as a hat I will use it to carry fruit on a walk with a pretty lady. Say hi to John and Anna Kate for me. Your eccentric and loving cousin. - Bob
