Stash Buster - Bargain Yarn Blankie




A new baby at church needs a blanket to drag around during toddlerhood. Well, I'm just the knitter to provide one.

A lovely round blanket in the Spiderman Blanket Pattern which can be found here: http://muro73.googlepages.com/patternsinenglish
Only this one is for a girl baby! I'm thrilled with the results.
I found all the yarn at Big Lots last summer, and all of it was priced at $1.00 per skein. The green is a yarn called Phentex Fashion Thirteen. The Pink is Premier Yarns Eda, and the multi pom-pom yarn is Paton's Cici. I was inspired in the aisle of the big discounter and filled my cart.

Here's hoping the baby loves it!

Aeolian Update


Ravelry: IKnitB4ItWasHip's Aeolian Shawl: "I’m stalled on this, but wanted to post photos. All the beading has made it a handicap to it being a carry-along project." I got stuck when my family and I were at the end of the Race Across America Finish Line in Annapolis, MD. I pulled it out of the bag and need to re-do the last row. I hadn't worked on it in awhile because of a baby blanket I'm doing and I need to remember how to do the charts.
