All things yarn.....

 Yarn, Yarn, Yarn; 

I love the stuff! I adore the squishy-ness, the textures, the colours; oh the colours!! I have thousands of skeins of it and I am probably going to continue buying it (even though I don't need more) much to the disgust of my household. The way I see it if Mr Creative can store Lego by the box then I can store craft supplies by the dozen 😁

My craft room is a complete and total mess, I tried to get in there the other day and just... couldn't. It's bursting to the seams with supplies with so many different crafts that I honestly don't know where to begin most days. I tend to stick to yarn crafts at this moment in time as yarn is always to hand and so are the accessories, which means I don't have to organise the room in any fashion.

Although I have been wanting to get to my fabric stash and get my sewing machine out, I have an idea of making some boxed bottom zipper pouches. But that does mean I would have to actually be able to get in and get out (without causing an avalanche) with fabric - the more I think about it the more it loses its appeal 😏

Wips, FO's and Maker plans:

My wip basket is overflowing, so I think I will just talk about those that I have worked on in the last week; otherwise it'll take weeks to talk about all of them 🤭

I've got two simple hat designs on the go at the moment, one is crochet the other is knit. 

Let's talk crochet first, I'm using a light weight #3 acrylic yarn from papatya batik, in the colourway 554-12 which is a multicoloured/light rainbow. 

I'm doing half double crochet in the back loop until I reach my desired length then I will slip stitch the sides together and then weave my end through one open top to cinch it in, creating a beanie hat.

On to the knit, I'm using a different lightweight #3 acrylic yarn from hayfield bonus breeze in colourway 0477, which is also a multicoloured yarn. 

It's just a simple garter stitch until I reach desired width and then seam and cinch like the crochet hat. This one I'm trying to have the option for a slouch or a brim.

I'm hoping to have both finished for next week, I am going to have an easy week as I have tooth surgery on Tuesday and will need to recover. 

Here's hoping that after reading this your inspired to get crafty, thanks for taking the time to spend a few minutes with me. 

Until next time, stay creative x
