A Drop Spindle Tutorial

I thought this was a really cool tutorial on how to use a drop spindle to spin yarn and I wanted to share :) I made my own drop spindle today and can not wait to dye and spin my first skein of yarn. Now I just need to find some really decent priced roving ;)

WIP: Washcloths & bath puff

Whats a WIP? It's a Work In Progress... I just thought I would share my WIP for the week. Aren't those colors fanominal together?! It reminds me of cotton candy or sherbet! The yarn is one of my favorite brands (I know I say this allll the time!) But 'I love this yarn' brand from Hobby Lobby is sooo great. I love the colors, and the softness of it. If you didn't look at the label you would NEVER know that its 100% acrylic yarn. Its just TOO soft! Thats why I decided to use it to make this set. So far I have 1 washcloth finished, and I'm half way finished with the second. Once I finish all the washcloths, I plan on making a bath puff with all of the colors mixed together. I think it will be pretty.... I also learned a new stitch, the crab stitch! I really like the outcome of the stitch too. It makes a really nice corded edging for the washcloths. I'll share pics when everythings finished! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

I love this yarn!

I thought I would take a quick second to post about this yarn that I absolutely LOVE. I went on a mini shopping spree this past weekend to hobby lobby and found some wonderful deals! I bought this particular yarn because it was super soft and I loved the color pattern!! The brand is I love this yarn and I think its sold only at Hobby Lobby, but I'm not 100% sure! The color is Jazz stripes. Its really cool, and I'm currently about 50% completed with a pot holder kitchen set that I'm crocheting with this yarn! Its really is super soft especially to be 100% acrylic. And the color pattern makes stripes when I crochet it which I love! I cant wait to finish the set so I can share how it looks! I think this brand is my new favorite brand for now!!
