In: My Wren House yarn came!!!!! I love it. Now I need ideas about what to make with it. Hm, maybe I can combine it with the leftovers from some other fingering skeins, must look at my patterns. And a random skein of Alpaca Wool Silk showed up in my Bluprint order? So until I get a response from the email I sent asking what they want me to do with this skein I didn’t order, it’s added to my stash.
Out: Baby sweater knitting, reveal tomorrow!!

In: I blame Karen! She had to tell me that Bluprint had a 60% off 2 deal going on. So I got a Layer Cake and 3 yards of the berry floral for $36.00! Plus that random skein of yarn that I don’t know what they want me to do with.

I love your Sweet Liberty quilt. Hope you win a ribbon!!
Thanks! Me too.

I bet that yarn was a “by accident” when I see it was alpaca silk! that would be pricey wouldn’t it – bet they tell you to keep though – it is a hassle for companies to have you send something back – let me know how you like it if they tell you to keep it — I’m looking for a wool that actually really and truly doesn’t make you itch and not cost and arm and a leg!
I love your Sweet Liberty quilt – such pretty colors! Hope you win that ribbon! The new fabric looks like fun, too – do you have a plan for it?
Thanks! I love R/W/B quilts, so it was a must make for me. The new fabric is being considered for a free pattern from Em at Em’s Scrapbag https://emsscrapbag.blogspot.com It’s from her email list. > >
I am sure it was an accident, but I hope it wasn’t meant for another knitting who needed it right away. It feels very soft and cool to the touch, not itchy at all. But anything with Merino Wool is not itchy. > >
You are doing really good with stitching every day! Hope you win!
Thanks! I know the next few weeks will be iffy on stitching time, but I plan to have knitting on hand for those times away from sewing. > >
That is so weird about the random skein of yarn!
I just hope it wasn’t left out of someone else’s order, and it was something they needed ASAP. > >
Oh that would be the worse
Love your churn dashes. So adorable.
Thanks, it is one of my favorite blocks. > >
It will probably cost more to ship the yarn back than they paid for it. Lucky you getting a freebie!
True, I just feel bad if it got left out of an order.

Darn that Bluprint! I was not very happy with their classes when they first made the switch, but I think they have been getting better with their content in general. They have some pretty good supplies, too!
And I just found out the yarn was a freebie for me! Yay!!! > >
Lovely yarn:)
Thanks! It is so soft! No clue what I will use it for.
Hi Chris! 60% off . . . good thing I didn’t know that. Don’t tell me if it’s still going on!!! We just straightened out all of our fabrics this weekend, and there is no way that we need any more. Except possibly some orange fat quarters, and some black with a white pattern . . . HAHA! ~smile~ Roseanne
We can always use more!!! Sure we don’t need it, but we’ll find room for it!!!

Great stitching metrics! It’s hard to pass up sales like that, but you indulged with restraint.
LOL Restraint is hard when prices are so low!
>
can’t pass up a bargain of 60% off – great projects
You got that right!
