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.

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.

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.

Naples Yarn

While walking to the boneyard from our apartment, I spotted a shop that said Merceria. I went inside and was treated very nicely, even with the language difficulties. Found these nice cotton yarns. They're mine now.

More Yarn

The upper yarn I bought when I bought the grinda yarn.  I'll use it for a scarf.  The lower Andreas got in an adabox.  Not sure what he was supposed to do with it.  It's now at the women's prison in Lipljan.  I'm sure they'll make something wonderful with it.
