Finished #2 project in February! What a good feeling. But let me tell you what you shouldn't do--and hope I pay attention to my own advice! We were at a garage sale last summer, and I saw a sack with yarn and knitting needles. I loved the yarn--it's called Baby Cloud in Tutti Frutti by Red Heart. I bargained with the lady and finally bought 3 skeins of the Tutti Frutti and 1 skein of pink for $3--leaving some other yarn and the knitting needles. It's a boucle type yarn, incredibly soft and with a lot of texture. And I love the soft pastels. Well, I was sure the 3 skeins (4.5 oz.) would not be enough to make a large afghan so I searched at different stores but could not find additional skeins. Amazon had Baby Cloud in blue, lavender, etc., and one set of 2 skeins (1 was Tutti Frutti) for about $20. Not interested! I decided to make a baby afghan and used a DC with a Chain 1 between. It was still pretty small when I finished the 3 skeins but it is an acceptable size with 2 rows of pink (6 oz. skein) in a solid DC. It's done! Lesson learned: don't buy yarn at a garage sale unless you know it isn't discontinued!! Glad it's done--sooooo soft! Completed 2/9/22.
