Yarn for Andreas

Andreas is going to Kyiv in the summer to work. I want to make him something to bring with him, so he's approved an afghan with this yarn. Now to start. He will need something warm for the winter.

 

Darn Good Yarn

Bought two grab bags from Darn Good Yarn, a yarn one and a finished goods one. Got a skirt and a top and a wine bag and a couple other things in the finished goods one. And some pretty yarn in the other. Time to use both.

 

Future Afghan

This is for another baby blanket in the mission. The baby was born in August, but I'm still finishing up the one for Njomza. I am so close to completing it.

 

Lion Brand Mystery Boxes

Two sets of these three yarns from Lion Brand when I bought mystery boxes. Time to make some more doggie afghans. Once I finish all the baby afghans.

 

And This is the Next Afghan

I am currently making an afghan for Njomza's little baby now. She picked this yarn.

 

New Brand

Never used Katia crochet thread before. Going to see how it feels.

 

Yarn for Another Afghan

I truly need to start this, but I also need to finish the one I'm working on first. Pretty yarn picked out by the mom.

 

Lion Brand Mystery Box

I got two of these. There wasn't a single skein I wouldn't use. So I lucked out!

 

Yarn for Babies

The embassy is having a baby boom. I will be using these four skeins of local yarn to make two of the baby afghans. The solo blue skein is a bonus freebie.

 

Multi Thread

Saw this at Hobby Lobby on home leave and picked it up. I should have gotten more.

 

Yaaarn

Did a couple of Lion Brand's mystery boxes. Got two of the same with these three yarns in them. Orange is already started as a granny square afghan. Not sure what to do with the others yet.

 

Halloween Colors

I ordered a yarn grab bag from Lion Brand. This is what I got - Halloween colors. The grab bag is at least nine skeins of at least three varieties for $20. It's what I got, but I am so not a fan of orange.

 

Darn Good Yarn Mystery Box

 

This box was $99, half the normal price. Everything in it is in these two photos. There are some nice yarns, but I am seriously not impressed. The jewelry making set went to Leonora. She loves it. Other than that, I need to start making some scarves.

Overdyed Yarn

 

Lion Brand had this on sale for three skeins for ten dollars. I am sure it will make nice neck warmers.

Baby Aghan Yarn

Six skeins of Coboo to make a baby afghan for the Hoffmans. I'm beginning to focus more this week, so maybe I'll get it done.

Lion Brand Sale

None of these yarns (including the whole boxful) were more than three dollars a skein. Thank you Lion Brand for the great sale.

Yarn Sale

This is what happens when Lion Brand's website has a ten skeins for ten dollars sale.

Hobby Store Stash

These are the non-basket-weaving items I picked up at the hobby shop in Budapest.

Prime Day Yarn

Andreas found this yarn on prime day for a good price, so he bought it. Unfortunately, the limit was one skein.

Yarn Sale

The little skeins are from a Lion Brand Yarn sale. I got each package for only two dollars. The white is to go with them as I am planning to make a bright granny square afghan from all these bits.
