Raiding the stash

 I raided my "stash" upstairs for the beginnings of a new crochet project.  


Not sure if this will be the final pick or not.   The dark burgundy in front may not make the cut.  Far Guy rolls all my yarn into balls for me...because I do not like yarn surprises like factory knots or thin spots. 

I am going back to a pattern that I used years ago...individual fancy granny squares....maybe... we shall see how it all works out. 

Quiet day on Wednesday.  Not much accomplished except a really long nap. 

Supper was eggs:)

Minnesota weather: High 45F  or 7C  Low was 29F or -2C.

  2. How nice that FG will wind your yarn for you. What a guy! These colors should make lovely granny squares.

  3. It is fun to have items on hand when you start a project whether it is a craft or a meal. And I have learned with recipes to make sure something is in the pantry especially if it is something I do not make often.
    Eggs - - - it helps to like them and I am glad I do like them hard-boiled cuz I eat a lot of them. They are good protein and safe for AG & GF. Hope you have a wonderful day.

  4. I can’t wait to see what masterpiece you create. You have a great helper. I much prefer balls of yarn but I don’t have a helper.

    It’s really cool there. Hope you’ll have warm suns soon.

  5. That's so nice that Far Guy will wind your yarn! I bought a yarn caker from Amazon, and I only use it about half the time. I love using caked yarn, but winding it from the skein to into cakes sometimes just seems like extra work. Those colors are gorgeous. I can't wait to see the project.

  7. Love the colors of your yarn. If it was me I would scrap the burgandy unless I used it as a center for the granny squares. Good luck.

  9. I can just see all of these pretty colors mixed together. So nice that FG rolls the yarn into balls for you...I'm sure that this is a big help and like you say, no surprises in the yarn. I'm guessing this blanket might take you a day, maybe two... You really work fast.

  11. I too like the spring colors! I spend the most money in the Spring on just about everything for the pretty colors! Boxes...stationary...flowers and vases. Spring towels and spring dresses for the grands!
    My husband said that I cannot go buy a pink Car! 😩

  14. Those are my kind of colors, except maybe the Burgundy. I have several skeins of it here in my stash. I need to use it on a lap or wheelchair blanket for the assisted living. I think it would be good for a man.
    Blessing and hugs,
    Betsy

  17. Sometimes we just do crackers and cheese. Sometimes supper is just too hard to prepare
