Back in May of last year, I started my Blair Farm Stitch Project challenge, to use up a big bag of yarn that I purchased from a garage sale. Last night, I finished up the last of the yarn from that bag, so it's time for a new challenge.
Since Valentine's Day is tomorrow, I guess I was thinking of love, weddings and the like... so I thought of the "Some old, something new" rhyme. I pulled together a bag of yarn based on that...
Something old:
This alpaca blend yarn has been in my basket for quite a while. It's left over from a pocket shawl I made (which is still for sale in my Etsy Shop. I think I'll make an anemone hat from it!
Something New:
Project #1 used up most of one skein:
Something borrowed:
Well, I don't have any "borrowed" yarn, but I do have some that I swapped with a local crafter. I had some self-striping wool that I didn't plan on using, so she gave me some acrylic yarn in exchange. I pulled this skein from what she gave me:
Something blue:
Looking around my craft room, this bright blue caught my eye:
The problem is, there was another cake of yarn right next to it, saying "Me too!"
So, here is the collection ready for my challenge! Can I use it up before the end of February? We'll see! You can follow my progress here or on Instagram, where I'll tag finished items with #PenguinPlaceFebruaryChallenge
These four projects used up the "something new" pink and the "something borrowed" pink
This chameleon used up about half of the camo yarn. A scrappy snake should finish that off...
Yes, the snake finished it off...
Toby the Baby Dragon finished off the blue.
The anemone hat finished the green.
