A couple of things I’ve been working on lately.

I’m combing the internet for all different kinds of flower squares and making each square a different flower until I use up that purple yarn. Then I’m going to do other sets of squares in different color combinations and other types of flowers to make a garden blanket. I found one YouTuber who has lots of specific flowers that look so beautiful.

And, I thought I was a little weird because I really enjoy detangling yarn. I think it’s my OCD that just feels compelled to keep at it. It’s so rewarding when you hit a patch that just comes all loose at once. But then I found out that there are lots of people who do this!

I made this mess because the yarn smelled like cigarette smoke. I have washed and dried single skeins of yarn before in lingerie bags and they don’t usually get too tangled. But I had a lot of this, and I got lazy and put several skeins in each bag.

Well that was a mistake!

So I get it out once in a while and play with it. Here is what I got finished before Thanksgiving (plus one more bag to work on).

I got a yarn winder for Christmas. It’s been lots of fun!

I'm sure the garden blanket will be absolutely stunning!

I’m picking up yarn today. I have a co-worker that asked me for a red and black scarf. I’m dreading the black yarn

Finally blocking the blanket ! The pins took way too long but now they're finally done and I can start steaming. I also measured the blanket to be 33x40, so it's pretty tiny. I'm very nervous that the steam might make the pins rust and I think it will. Anyway here goes nothing....

I'm currently spinning some lovely black yarn...I know I'm going to regret it, but it looks deceptively pretty!
